UK weather: Last dose of summer expected for much of UK
By Jo CouzensBBC News
The UK could see temperatures of up to 26C (79F) at the weekend in a spell of unusually warm October weather.
It will not be Blue Skies and sunshine for everyone, with heavy and persistent rain expected in Scotland.
A Met Office yellow warning for Heavy Rain is in force over much of The Nation from Friday Night until 06:00 GMT on Sunday.
There will be some " stark contrasts" across the UK, BBC Weather forecaster Matt Taylor said.
There could even be snow over the highest Scottish mountains, He Said .
" While it will feel like Late Summer in The South , it will be more like late autumn/early winter for many in Scotland.
" Not only will there be persistent rain for many but temperatures will struggle to reach 10C for a fair few. "
The period of heat for much of the UK is due to warm and humid air originating from north-west Africa and the Canaries, which has set many October records across Europe in recent days.
Over the weekend, a high of 26C is expected in The South East on Saturday - this is unusual for October and even a little above typical mid-summer highs.
A temperature of 25C has only been reached or exceeded in three other years in The Past quarter of a Century - in 2018, 2011 and 2001.
However, the all-time October record of 29. 9C, set on 1 October 2011 in Gravesend, is unlikely to be reached.
The Heavy Rain in Scotland could lead to some flooding, with up to 150mm falling over The Hills , Mr Taylor warned.
The Met Office has predicted widespread disruption for the West Coast , parts of the central belt and the highlands including Glasgow, Stirling and Fort William .
It warned of potential difficult driving conditions, flooding for homes and businesses and danger to life from fast flowing or deep floodwater.
In Northern Ireland , highs of 21C are expected, while Scotland will likely top out in The High teens.
Mr Taylor said warm conditions will likely persist into the early part of next week, with temperatures continuing to reach the low to mid 20s, before things turn cooler from The Middle of next week.
" While The Cooler conditions in Scotland this weekend may bring on the autumn colours, overall it looks like temperatures will largely be at or above normal in most areas, " he explained.
" We could continue to see a split in fortunes rainfall-wise though. As Low Pressure systems dominate to The West and north-west of the UK, parts of western Scotland especially could continue to experience above-average rainfall. "
Unseasonal warm weather is likely to become, which is having an increasing impact on all parts of the UK.
It played a key role in pushing Last Year 's temperatures to record highs.
The Met Office says 2022's record-breaking UK heat will be regarded as A Cool year by The End of This Century .
