Just when you thought it was safe to fold-up those summer t-shirts and break out the winter woolies, think again.

ÌýMy own wardrobe is a scene of confused chaos, at least in terms of casualwear ensembles. I'm feeling 'seasonally challenged' in terms of making the correct clothing choice: one day, the leather jacket feels just right against the wind and rain; the next - it's ditched on the coathook in favour of wearing no jacket at all.

Yes, it's nearly November - but positively balmy best describes the prospects for this week's weather. The warming trend has started today, as we draw upÌýa very mild and moisture-laden southerly flow of air from the eastern North Atlantic Ocean.

Granted, we'll have to contend with some rather extensive low cloud and murky conditions at times this week, plus occasional spells of drizzle and light rain. But if you are under any sunny breaks - and we will certainly see some developÌý-Ìýit will feel positively warm for this time of year.

I'mÌýwageringÌýthat somewhere across the West CountryÌýwill reachÌý20 Celsius (68F)Ìýon or by Wednesday /ÌýThursday, with 21C (70F)Ìýby no means impossible somewhere in central-southern England, given sufficient .

And by night - when we'd normally expect temperatures to fall to around 7C - our region will instead experience double that value, offering at least a week of saving on central heating bills as duvets get readily kicked-off many beds, I'd imagine.
