Bonfire Night 2019 UK weather forecast – Met Office predicts cold and frosty conditions
BRITS are advised to wrap up warm on Bonfire Night as temperatures could hit FREEZING in some parts of the UK.
An arctic plunge is set to strike this week bringing bitterly cold temperatures and wintry showers - beginning tonight.
News UK has a brand partnership with Switchcraft.
Following the recent period of "unsettled weather" which has seen floods and high winds batter the UK, November will plunge us further into chilly temperatures, averaging between 1C and 3C.
Those heading out to bonfires and fireworks displays tonight should wrap up warmly as nighttime temperatures could dip to as low as 2C.
On the south coast, temperatures will be as high as 11C, with the coolest temperatures expected in Scotland.
The news comes as an arctic plunge is set to strike this week, with Scotland facing snow on high ground and ice worries, and 50mph gusts predicted in the south west.
A spokesperson for the Met Office also predicted that nearing mid-November, the south of England could see yet more showers.
And computer forecast models point to this November being the coldest since 2010, said The Weather Outlook.
A November average temperature under 4.9C, 1.3C below normal, would be the UK's coldest November since 2010, Met Office records show.
The famous Big Freeze in 2010 began with -18C lows in Wales on November 28, followed by a month-long whiteout and travel mayhem with lows down to -19C in England and -21C in Scotland.
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “After a number of mild Novembers in recent years, computer models for the month ahead suggest this November is set to be the coldest since 2010.”
Ex-BBC and Met Office forecaster John Hammond of Weathertrending said: “There are similarities between the current set-up and November 2010.”
