Brits have been told to enjoy a relatively mild November - as El Nino triggers record 18C Indian summer heat - before December snow and -12C New Year freezes. Remembrance Sunday showers are forecast to hit parts of the UK today after south Wales suffered floods on Saturday for the second time in three weeks.
The warmest mid-November days for 177 years are set to follow, with highs up to 18C from Wednesday starting a week-long warm and mainly dry spell with sunny periods for all.
Just six weeks from Christmas, Wednesday will be the warmest November 14 since records began in 1841 if highs beat the 17.7C in 1989 in Cwmbargoed, Glamorgan, Wales.
But the Met Office said a bitter last week of November is set to bring snow to the North – and warned of more severe cold weather impacts after Christmas with -12C lows, snow, ice and travel chaos forecast in January by The Weather Outlook.
Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: "Britain's weather looks like going from mild to wild.
"Indian Summer conditions in coming days see 18C sunny spells challenging date records.
"But it is set to turn much colder ahead, and after Christmas is forecast spells of snow, ice and travel disruption, with lows down to -12C in parts of Scotland and -8C in England."

Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna added: "Remembrance Sunday had a high chance of showers, with Monday also showery.
"But high pressure builds with dry and fine conditions for many southern and eastern areas on Wednesday, spreading to the North as well from Thursday until the weekend, with very mild temperatures and highs around 16C.
"Settled weather continues until November 20, although there could be low cloud and fog at times.
"But the big change ahead is to a colder last week of the month, moving from above to below-average temperatures with the risk of wintry conditions in the North."
