UK Braces for Warmer-Than-Average November as Weather Patterns Stabilize
1 Nov
Summary
- Temperatures expected to rise above average by mid-November
- Blustery weather with rain showers to continue this weekend
- Hurricane Melissa to have minimal impact on UK's weather
As of November 1st, 2025, the UK is poised to see a shift in its weather patterns over the coming weeks. According to the Met Office, the country can expect temperatures to rise above average by mid-November, even as blustery conditions with further rain showers continue this weekend.
The unsettled weather is expected to persist into next week, but meteorologist Gregory Dewhurst notes that temperatures on Monday could reach as high as 17°C, several degrees above the norm for this time of year. The warmer temperatures will be accompanied by cloudy skies and "fairly strong" winds and rain coming in from the southwest.
While some snow is anticipated on mountain tops this weekend, the Met Office has confirmed there is no risk of significant snowfall for the majority of the UK this month. As the month progresses, weather patterns are set to stabilize, with drier periods becoming more common in the second half of November.
The Met Office has also downplayed the potential impact of Hurricane Melissa, which recently made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm and swept through the Caribbean. Dewhurst stated that Melissa will have "minimal" influence on the UK, keeping the weather unsettled but not directly affecting the country's typical autumn conditions.
