Parts of Scotland will be as warm as Madrid on Monday as the remnants of Hurricane Melissa send temperatures soaring.
However, this will be no Indian summer with spells of heavy rain and strong winds expected.
The tropical tempest brought devastation to the Caribbean during the week and, while its impact on the UK will be less severe, it will be part of a low-pressure system making its way across the Atlantic.
Western areas of Scotland are expected to be especially wet but in the east, it will feel mild as warm air arrives from the Caribbean.

Parts of the Highlands, Moray and East Lothian will see highs of around 16C, including the towns of Nairn, Elgin and North Berwick, according to the Met Office, the same as the Spanish capital.
And temperatures of 15C will be common right down the east coast, with the likes of Aberdeen, St Andrews and Edinburgh feeling mild despite the damp conditions.
Further west, temperatures will still be above the average for the time of year but heavy rain is expected.
Weather maps from WXCharts show two bands of heavy rain moving from the southwest to the northeast. The first will arrive in the early hours of November 3 with a second peaking at around 3pm.
Western parts of the Highlands will see the worst of the conditions, especially around Fort William. Wind gusts here could reach over 30mph.
The Met Office said that by the time Melissa reaches our shores, it will "no longer be a hurricane, but rather a typical mid-latitude low, having weakened considerably after passing over the cooler waters of the North Atlantic".
It added: "Nevertheless, this system will bring winds from the southwest and a lot of moisture, resulting in wet weather for many parts of the UK on Monday and Tuesday.
"The wettest conditions will be across high ground in northwestern UK, northwest England, and western Scotland."
