Unseasonable warmth: November temperature records broken

Two records have been provisionally broken for both Scotland and Northern Ireland, beating their previous highest minimum temperatures for November.

Extraordinary and unseasonable warmth has been felt over the past few days, but on Thursday night in particular, November 10th into the 11th, temperatures remained widely into the mid-teens throughout.

Whilst three quarters of all Scottish weather stations recorded their warmest November night on record, national records for Scotland and Northern Ireland were also broken.

The overall highest minimum UK record still stands at 15.9C from 2005, though was recorded for an earlier date in the month, on November 3rd. More details on records can be found here, including the weekend weather forecast.
