Parts of the Midlands are forecast to reach up to 13C on Monday, November 16, according to weather maps that suggest a brief milder spell for much of England.
The projections show West Midlands temperatures climbing into double figures, with some neighbouring counties reaching 14C or 15C.
Midlands could reach 13C in mid-November as 21 areas listed
WXCharts maps for November 16 indicate that temperatures will begin rising during the afternoon, with most of England remaining in double digits.
The Midlands is expected to sit broadly between 11C and 13C, while Scotland is likely to remain colder.
The warmest conditions are forecast around London and the wider south-east, where some areas could reach 16C.
The maps have been described as showing a “mini heatwave,” although mid-November temperatures in the mid-teens are milder than usual rather than genuinely hot.
The forecast highlights several Midlands-adjacent areas reaching 12C or above on November 16:
- Lincolnshire 13C
- Leicestershire 13C
- Rutland 13C
- Herefordshire 14C
- Shropshire 14C
- Warwickshire 15C
- Gloucestershire 15C
Warwickshire and Gloucestershire are among the areas projected to reach 15C, placing them among the warmer parts of the country outside the south-east.
Herefordshire and Shropshire are expected to reach 14C.
What the Met Office says
The Met Office outlook for November 16 to 30 suggests conditions may become more changeable or unsettled during the second half of the month, with spells of rain and the potential for strong winds.
It says northern and western areas are generally most favoured for the wettest and windiest weather, although confidence in the exact location is low.
Temperatures are expected to be near or above average for much of the period, but the Met Office cautions that colder interludes remain possible, particularly later in the month.
