Hurricane Isaias is bringing unusually warm weather to Suffolk, with overnight temperatures forecast near the October record.

Hurricane Isaias, which hit the United States on Saturday, is bringing unusually warm weather to Suffolk. The county experienced blustery winds over the weekend, but the effects continue to be felt across the country with an extended period of warm weather forecast.

Daytime temperatures in Ipswich are expected to reach 21C on Tuesday, significantly above the mid-October average of 12 to 16C. The warm weather will continue until Friday, when forecasts show the highest temperature dropping to 14C. Overnight temperatures are expected to remain around 18C, making them warmer than average for October and approaching the UK's October overnight record of 18.6C.

Heavier bursts of rain are expected to develop through the night as the week progresses, with drizzle and strong winds forecast for more of the UK. The Met Office has highlighted the potential for late autumn and early winter to be wetter than normal due to record El Niño conditions this year.
