LONDON (Reuters) - Western Europe will experience below-normal temperatures in November, The Weather Company said on Thursday.
"A first taste of winter is coming this weekend, with cold northerlies sending a chill across much of western Europe, although eastern/southern Europe will remain warm," said Todd Crawford, the company's chief meteorologist.
"However, as we head into winter it appears that the forces are aligning to produce the first cold winter in a while across northern Europe, with above-normal temperatures and stormy conditions across southern Europe," he said. The Weather Company, owned by IBM, provides weather forecasts aimed at the commodities and energy sectors.
