With temperatures across the UK in the mid-teens, Armistice Day was poised to be the warmest on record. Conditions were looking "exceptionally mild" on Friday morning, according to the Met Office.
The weather service said warm air drawn up from the south-west led to mild conditions overnight. Northern Ireland and Scotland might have their highest November minimum temperature on record, the Met Office said.
The forecaster tweeted: “The cloudy, wet & windy weather, along with warm air drawn up from the south-west, means it’ll be exceptionally mild tonight. Northern Ireland and perhaps Scotland may have their highest November minimum temperature on record, if it stays above 13.9C or 14.5C respectively.”
