A warm autumn continued today as the UK experienced it's warmest Armistice Day on record. All four nations recorded their hottest ever November 11.
Highs of 19.5 degrees in Myerscough, Lancashire beat the previous record, joint-set in 1958 and 1977, by almost two degrees. In Wales, Hawarden saw the mercury climb to 16.9c.
The Met Office have explained that the unusually warm conditions have led to "exceptionally mild" temperatures across the UK. Similar weather will continue over the Remembrance Weekend, with the weather service adding that Saturday will be "unseasonably mild", while Sunday will be "very mild" as the UK's temperature could potentially rise to 20 degrees.
Each home nation's respective peaks were hit in Lossiemouth in Scotland (19.1), Magilligan in Northern Island (17.4) and Hawarden in Wales (16.9).
The Met Office tweeted yesterday night: “Today the UK has seen the warmest Armistice Day on record, provisionally breaking the previous record of 17.8 Celsius set in 1954 and 1977. England, Scotland and Northern Ireland also set provisional new individual records."
The weather service has said that the unseasonal conditions have been caused by air drawn up from the south west.
