Warmest UK Halloween on record | |
(35 minutes later) | |
This year's Halloween is the warmest on record in Britain, BBC weather has confirmed. | |
A temperature of 23.5C has been recorded in Gravesend, Kent, surpassing the previous record of 20.0C. | |
Other parts of the south of England, north Norfolk coast and north Welsh coast are also breaking the 20C mark. | |
The previous record was set in Dartford, Kent, in 1968 and was matched in north-eastern parts of Greater London in 1989. | |
Nine out of the 10 months so far this year have been warmer than average, BBC weather said. | |
The UK mean temperature for the month so far is 11C, which is 1.5C above the long-term average between 1981 and 2010, but a few degrees short of the 12.2C record set in 2001. |
