Brits could be in for an unusually warm autumn by the end of October, according to forecasters.
A burst of warm weather from Azores will send the mercury up to 21C in parts of the UK. Meanwhile, in Manchester, temperatures will be slightly warmer than usual from Thursday onwards, reaching the high teens.
Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern told LBC that the unusual temperatures is a direct result of warm air coming from the Azores and being sent north by the jet stream.
He said: "What we've got during the next few days is the jet stream coming out of North America, and then strengthening on the other side of the Atlantic because of this temperature contrast between north of the jet stream and south of the jet stream.
"Then, the jet stream dips close to the Azores before pushing north again during Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and the weekend as the warm air pushed north across Europe. It will be unusually warm for much of the continent, not just the UK."
Here's the Met Office's breakdown of what weather will be like across the UK in the coming days:
Today
Cloud and outbreaks of rain, some heavy, moving north but likely becoming brighter with some sunny spells developing through the afternoon in the south. Windy in the far north at first. Very mild, especially in the southeast.
Tonight
Rain, heavy at times, with coastal gales developing across the far southwest and moving north overnight, although northern Scotland and eastern England remaining dry. Very mild.
Friday
Rain, heavy at times accompanied by strong winds clearing northeast with sunny spells following. A few showers developing across Northern Ireland in the afternoon. Mild.
Saturday to Monday
Staying unsettled and very mild. Heavier rain and strong winds always more likely towards the west with some drier, brighter interludes especially in the east.
