Chilly UK Forecast for Diwali & Bonfire Night
4 Nov
Summary
- Dry and settled weather expected across most of the UK this week.
- Nighttime temperatures will drop into single digits with potential fog.
- This year's Bonfire Night will be significantly colder than last year's record warmth.
The UK is set for dry but chilly weather as millions prepare for Guy Fawkes Night on Thursday and the Hindu festival of Diwali on November 8th. High pressure has built in, promising settled days with a mix of cloud and sunny spells for most of the country.
However, nighttime temperatures are forecast to dip into the single digits, with fog potentially developing in certain areas. While most bonfire celebrations on Thursday evening should avoid soggy kindling, there's a chance of showers in eastern Scotland and eastern England on Wednesday due to an easterly wind.
This year's celebrations will be notably colder than the record-breaking warmth experienced on Bonfire Night in 2025, when some southern areas remained above 14C. A touch of frost is possible in sheltered northern locations. The settled, chilly conditions are expected to persist through the weekend, though fog may become more widespread as winds ease.
