Temperatures could reach 17C or even 18C over the next few days.

Weather enthusiast Bournemouth & Poole Weather said the balmy weather is possible until Sunday.

He said the warm spell was being driven by “high pressure to our southeast dragging up very mild conditions from southern Europe and North Africa”.

According to the Met Office forecast, highs of 17C are predicted for Saturday and Sunday along with lots of sunshine.

It comes after what was potentially one of mildest November nights on record on Wednesday night.

Bournemouth & Poole Weather said temperatures held between 15C and 16C all night.

He said he believed the UK November record for the mildest night is 15.9C.

Next week will see temperatures fall to around 13C or 14C.

The Met Office said current weather patterns could not be attributed to climate change.

A spokesperson said: “When looking at general climate change trends over UK land for the 21st century they broadly show an increased chance of milder, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers.”

Meanwhile, Bournemouth-based forecaster Dorsetsun said he thought the first cold snap of the season could be still three to four weeks away.

He said: “High pressure looks likely to push northwards later on in November, but just how far north remains a mystery.

“If we can get heights up towards Scandinavia/Greenland, then the chance of a cold spell greatly increases.

“MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) likely transitions into a weak stage 6 or 7 by early Dec.

He added: “This, along with La Niña conditions would suggest that there’s a decent chance of some sort of cold spell at the beginning of December.

"Wet and fairly mild conditions dominating until then.”
