Scotland records its warmest November night

[Still Waters]

Scotland has provisionally recorded its highest overnight November temperature since records began.

The Met Office confirmed a high of 14.6C at both Kinloss in Moray and at Prestwick, Ayrshire, on Thursday night into Friday morning.

The previous record was set in 2007 when the mercury reached 14.5C at Dyce in Aberdeen.

Forecasters said the warm airflow had been coming from west of Spain and heading up to Scotland.

A badly worded sentence from the BBC there.   Should read: "The Met Office confirmed a low of 14.6C ...."

Why is the weather so warm this November?

UK temperatures are "exceptionally mild" for the time of year, with Scotland and Northern Ireland having the warmest November night on record.

The Met Office recorded overnight temperatures of 14.6C in Kinloss and Prestwick in Scotland, and 14.5C at Magilligan in County Londonderry.

Average UK night-time temperatures at this time of year range between 4-6C.

Meteorologists say the mild weather is the result of a powerful jet stream bringing warm air up from the south.

It's certainly a bonus for millions of people across the UK who are concerned about heating bills, but is it a sign of a permanent shift in weather patterns and how much is climate change playing a part?

The UK's warmest Remembrance Sunday has been recorded in north Wales.

It beat the previous record by more than two degrees set 33 years ago, also in Gwynedd.

England and Scotland also saw records broken for the warmest Remembrance Day with highs of 19.2C (67F) in Bridgefoot, Cumbria, and 17.2C (63F) in Aviemore.

The previous record temperature on Remembrance Sunday was 19.1C (66F) in Aber, also in Gwynedd, in 1989.
