North-south temperature divide across UK
66 degrees in London whilst only mid-40s over north-central Scotland
Milder, sub-tropical Atlantic air continues to finger it's way through souther reaches of the UK and this is helped along by the Greater London heat-island as yesterday managed to warm to a very comfortable 66 degrees at St James Park in central London. I'm not sure what the actual low was but BBC forecasts were calling for lows around the London area to only fall to around 59 degrees. That is mild for early November but not really untypical when an Atlantic weather pattern is in conrtol and the air flow from the southwest draws warmer, maritime air into the south of England.
Yes, it's cooler, much cooler over particularly northern Scotland, north of the southern boundary of the Highlands and the Highlands themselves are acting as a barrier between warmer Atlantic air which is covering even the Scottish central belt and much of Wales and England but modest Arctic air is trying to drop into the north of Britain with even snow being reported over Caithness and Sutherland.
Lows tonight will drop off as we now rest in between weather systems and thus we'll see our temperatures drop into the 30s, even 20s in outlying rural areas. Some Highland glens may drop back to the mid or low 20s! Much of England will cool to near freezing in rural areaws which experience both clear skies and light winds. Whilst London will be cooler, mid to upper 40s should be their lowest, close to normal for this time of year.
Unfortunately the unsettled weather will no sooner dissappear before it returns. More wet and windy weather likely to resume in a day or so!

TODAY'S COND
Little in the way of temperature variation thanks to yet another long, heavy and persistent band of rain which continues to control our weather in much of central and particularly western areas of the country. Cooler air continues to lie up over the Highlands whilst slightly milder air (though staying cooler with all the wet, cloudy weather) remains over southern areas and bumped up against the southern Highlands. The mountains basically acting like a wall these days between cooler air and milder, Atlantic air.
Thanks for reading.
