December set to be the warmest on record across the UK and many parts of Europe as the jet-stream is stuck above the UK and it is sucking warm air from northern Africa bringing balmy temperatures more accustomed to early May than December.
Yesterday here in Holland, just north of Amsterdam, I enjoyed temperatures hovering around 18C, or around 65F in old money, uncanny when you realise the average temperature here for this time of the year is 5C or 41F.
Daffodils are blooming across the UK and parts of Europe during unseasonal December weather
Flowers usually more associated with Easter than Christmas seen around the country in a week of above-average seasonal temperatures.
Daffodils in December!
Incredibly, the forcast for today is set to be even warmer than yesterday and tomorrow will be the warmest day of all, so records are sure to be broken.
December will probably be the warmest on record along with November 2015 which was the warmest November on record, with 2015 will be the warmest year on record, maybe Al Gore was right after all?
It's not all good news though for the UK.
A series of storms will accompany the mild weather across the United Kingdom into Christmas, threatening to causing more floods and disruptions to travel for millions before and after the holiday.
Also asthmatics in Britain are preparing for a Saharan dust cloud to hit the country.
Forecasters said Saharan dust picked up by winds and carried in the atmosphere could fall in the South East, leaving a yellow or brown film on cars.
The phenomenon is often dubbed ‘blood rain’, but this reddish precipitation is only officially seen in countries with much higher red dust concentrations.
Across the pond it's the same story with, no sign of the polar vortex which devastated the US just one year ago when parts of America was colder than Mars, temperatures along the north east and Midwest have been in the 70's, around 23C, warm enough for shorts and t-shirt.
But just like the UK a series of storms more typical of spring will bring rounds of drenching rain to much of the eastern third of the nation during the week of Christmas.
