Warmest UK Halloween on record
This year's Halloween has been the warmest on record in the UK, BBC weather has said.
A temperature of 23.6C (74.3F) was recorded in Gravesend,
Kent and Kew Gardens, Greater London, surpassing the previous record of
20.0C.Other parts of the south of England and the north coasts of Wales and Norfolk also broke the 20C mark.
The previous record was set in Dartford, Kent, in 1968 and matched in parts of Greater London in 1989.
At 12:20 GMT, the Met Office tweeted: "Charlwood has beaten Filton, recording 22.5 °C. This makes it the warmest #Halloween on record!"
Less than an hour later, it tweeted: "The warmest #Halloween on record has been broken again with Gravesend recording 23.5 °C."
The UK mean temperature for October so far is 11C, which is 1.5C above the long-term average between 1981 and 2010, but short of the 12.2C record set in 2001.
Halloween or Hallowe'en, also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows'
Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of
countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All
Hallows' Day.
According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals,with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain. Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.
