The UK will become unseasonably warm in the coming days, and it will be caused by high-pressure areas attracting warm air from the southwest, including the tropical Azores Islands.
The weather change will cause the rain to dry up, creating a mini-Indian summer in some parts of the country.
Southern and south-eastern England could reach 17 degrees Celsius or higher by the weekend, while Scotland and the north will likely be in the mid-twenties.

When asked about the upcoming unusually warm November days, Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said, "By Thursday, high pressure is building across the south and the low is to the north-west, so it will get quite blustery, particularly in the far north-west."
The winds will be from the southwest, bringing almost tropical air with them.
Many places will have a dry day on Friday, and with that southerly wind, temperatures will be in the 15s, 16s, or 17s, as per the Evening Standard.
The warmest November temperature ever recorded was 22 degrees Celsius in Wales in 2015, so this is on track to be among the warmest November records.
The warm spell follows a relatively wet and windy couple of weeks that saw flood warnings issued across southern Britain.
People will spend less money heating their homes as the days become milder.
According to a September study by the International Monetary Fund, the energy crisis is affecting UK households more than any other Western European country.
As per the Guardian, the fund stated that the UK was paying the price for having energy-inefficient homes in comparison to other European nations, as well as its heavy reliance on gas to heat homes.

The gentle theme will continue into the weekend
High pressure will cause calmer weather, but the light winds will cause mist and fog to linger throughout the day in some areas, limiting sunshine
Tropical Storm Nicole will bring tropical air northward over the eastern United States and Canada in the coming days.
This tropical air will collide with the very cold air that is currently bringing wintry weather to the Midwest, resulting in a very active jet stream that will bring a new theme next week, though the details are still unknown.
The Scottish Highlands and Eilean Siar areas will be prone to "consistent and at times heavy rain," which the Met Office predicted will cause flooding in places, affecting some homes and businesses.
Those who are concerned that their home or business may be flooded should contact the Met Office for advice on what to do.
The torrential downpours are also expected to cause delays in bus and train services, with significant surface water on the roads creating hazardous driving conditions.
Then, beginning at 6 a.m. tomorrow, another warning will be issued for wind in the country's northeast.
Strong winds will primarily affect Strathclyde and the Lothian Borders and Northumberland in England.
The Met Office predicts that southwesterly winds will be very strong at times on Friday morning, especially over and to the east of high ground, with gusts of 60 to 65 mph possible.
It is expected that there will be some road delays, with disruption potentially affecting airport movements and ferry transportation.
Bus services may also be affected because their journeys are taking longer than usual, as per Express.
When high-sided vehicles use bridges, they become extremely vulnerable to strong winds.
Despite the hazardous conditions predicted for large swaths of the north, other parts of the UK are expected to see mild temperatures this weekend, with some of them potentially breaking records for the time of year.
Overnight temperatures in the south and central parts of England are expected to remain as high as 13 to 14 degrees Celsius, which is extremely unusual for November.
