TEMPERATURES are forecast to soar across the UK over the next 10 days in what could be the hottest November spell in 40 years.
Britain could bake in unseasonable highs of 18C this week thanks to a plume of roasting air engulfing nation from the south.

Meanwhile, a massive “pressure vortex” in the Atlantic Ocean is forecast to propel an onslaught of wet and windy weather towards the UK, battering western regions in particular.
Wet, windy but warm weather is expected to last until mid-November at least as a strong jet stream pulls in air from southern Europe, according to forecasters.
The peculiarly warm weather has been described as a late Indian summer by forecasters.
An “Indian Summer” as a period of unseasonably warm and dry weather that usually occurs in autumn, when temperatures typically start to plunge.
Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said: “The main theme for this week will be the very mild temperatures due to a southerly airflow bringing air up from southern Europe.
“Parts of Greece are seeing some very high temperatures for the time of year and although we will not get as high, we are in the same flow of air hence the very mild conditions.
“This is due to a very active jet stream which is coming out of America at a high speed, it will pull low-pressure systems in from the Atlantic which will drive this southerly air flow but also bring some unsettled conditions.
“We expect it to remain mild but unsettled really right through the first half of the month.”
