This week Edinburgh locals will enjoy temperatures hitting double figures with Thursday and Friday experiencing highs of 13 degrees. But by Sunday, it will drop to just one degree celsius at night, Met Office reports it will only crawl up to seven at the highest.
Looking at the long range weather forecast for the UK for November 19-28, Met Office warns of wintry showers and frost.
They say: "Cloudy for most, with patchy, mainly light rain across the far north. Throughout this period, winds will often be blowing from the west or northwest, with some incursions of northerly winds possible.
"High pressure will often be close by to the south and southwest of the UK, bringing largely settled and dry conditions here, this possibly extending to all areas of the country at times. However, some spells of rain are likely to affect northern areas, accompanied by brisk winds.
"There is a possibility of a trend towards colder conditions later, with a low risk of wintry showers in the north. Otherwise, temperatures are likely to be close to or just below average. Under high pressure, frost and fog is likely overnight, this fog slow to clear during the morning."
And from November 29-December 13, the weather forecasters warn of ice and snow in the north of the UK.
Met Office reports: "Conditions remaining similar during late November and early December, with the northwesterly flow dominating. High pressure close by to the south and southwest will bring a good deal of dry and settled weather, where frost and fog is likely overnight, the fog often slow to clear in the morning.
"The weather will be more changeable further north, with spells of rain, and occasional strong winds, this interspersed with sunshine and showers.
"Temperatures above average overall, but short-lived colder spells are likely, with the risk of snow and ice, especially in the north."
