Britain is set for its hottest year on record as an Indian summer spell ahead of Halloween will see temperatures of 21C (70F).

Warm air from Africa will bring a mild spell across the UK, particularly during the night, the Met Office said.

Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge said: ‘The best day will be today, when we will see the most sunshine. Temperatures will be four to five degrees above average.’

But forecasts of heavy clouds and rain showers will blight some parts of the North this week.

Mr Partridge added: ‘So far this year, every month has recorded a higher-than-average temperature.

‘We could see around 21C this week. But although it is going to be pretty mild, it isn’t going to be very nice.

‘It is going to be windy and there will be a fair bit of rain around. It will be mild but not the most pleasant of weather… Because we are bringing in the air from the south, it is going to make the nights much milder. Usually, at this time of year, it is the mild nights rather than the mild days that have an effect on overall monthly temperatures.’

The period from January to September was the hottest first nine months of the year since Met Office records began in 1884.

But Mr Partridge said it was too early to tell whether the warm weather would last until the end of the year.

‘It looks like it will be a little bit cooler towards the end of the month. It looks like mostly high pressures settling things down a little bit, with average day-time temperatures and chilly nights, which I suppose for Halloween, that is pretty good,’ he added.

‘At the moment we have certainly seen every month as recorded above average but how much that evens out by the end of the year remains to be seen.

‘It is very unusual to have that long a run of months that every single one had been higher than average.’
