Forecasters at the Met Office have responded to claims that a plume of heat from Africa is set to sweep up across Europe and bring a warm end to the month, with high temperatures for Halloween. Some forecasters this weekend predicted that temperatures in parts of the UK could reach as high as 23C by the end of October.
Netweather forecaster Nick Finnis said: “Some computer models show 22C or 23C by midweek," reports The Mirror.
He added: “An exceptionally-warm plume of air from northwest Africa looks like being pumped across Europe and to Britain, with up to the low 30s in France, and over 20C in southern Britain.”
