Halloween heatwave to hit UK this weekend - Halloween revellers can look forward to spring-like temperatures as one of the warmest Octobers on record comes to an end this weekend.
After several days of rain, those out trick-or-treating will enjoy dry and sunny spells with highs of up to 18C, mainly in the South and East. The UK average temperature for this October so far has been 11.5C, making it the seventh warmest in records which go back to 1910.

A spokesman for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Parts of the country such as East Anglia, the South East and perhaps Lincolnshire look set for maximum temperatures of up to 18C when the sun breaks through, which is very mild for this time of the year.
"It will be windy in other parts of the country, with cloud and some rain expected in Northern Ireland and north-west Scotland."
This month started with exceptionally warm temperatures, such as when Gravesend, Kent, registered a record high for England of 29.9C on October 1.
Wales also broke its October temperature record on that day with Hawarden in Flintshire registering 28.2 °C.
So far England and Wales have had just over half their usual monthly rainfall for October, although Northern Ireland had 163% of its usual monthly total. ( mirror.co.uk )
