The Met Office has responded to claims the UK could be in for a rare Indian summer at the end of October.
Recent weather forecasts have shown unseasonably warm temperatures for much of the country over the next two weeks, with talk of an incoming 'plume' from North Africa pushing the mercury all the way up to 23C.
Meteorologists have even predicted that the mild spell will last up to Halloween on October 31, with the south enjoying warmer conditions than the north.
