Met Office Forecast Backs BBC’s Prediction
While the Met Office’s short-range forecast doesn’t extend all the way to October 24, it does support the outlook of falling temperatures. Thursday, October 23, is expected to reach a high of only 14°C, indicating a continued downward trend.
Foggy Conditions Possible in Early November
Looking further ahead, the Met Office’s long-range forecast hints at the possibility of foggy conditions in London and southern England during early to mid-November. The forecast notes:
“There are just hints that a drier interlude may unfurl across more southern areas towards mid-month, which could increase the incidence of overnight fog.”
Temperature Drop Expected Beyond London
It’s not just London that will experience the colder weather. Surrounding counties including Kent, Essex, and Surrey are also forecast to see a significant temperature drop. A similar pattern is expected in Birmingham and Liverpool, highlighting a broader shift to cooler autumn conditions across the UK.
