I suspect the last week of November will turn chilly, but if it
doesn't it certainly could be one of the warmest recorded. Including
today (15th), I am currently 2.1°C above the average and with
temperatures forcast at 15°C+ for at least 3 days this week, it
should continue to climb. My November max to beat is 18.5°C from 8th
November 1978. Now that would be an interesting thought, given the
winter of 1979 ;-)
My warmest mean max year with 13.0°C was 1994, I'm currently 12.2°C

.... similar here Keith (East Dorset); based on Hurn, we're running ~2C
above the 1971-2000 average. Ensembles keep us above-average until
roughly the 22nd, then relax to the mean for most of the month
thereafter, perhaps dipping below during the last few days.

We only need to go back to 2002 for a warmer November, but in the Hurn
record (since the mid-1950s), then 1994 is the one to beat (both using
mean 24hr temperatures).
