Someone should tell the guy who put his heating on this morning that he's going to want to turn it off again.

Daniel, switch off your heating.
Not me. I operate a strict 'no heating until November rule'.
I'm on the "no heating until I can't bear it any more and even then maybe I'll wait a day or two to think about it" rule.
Hot drinks and hot water bottles are key. Heat the human, not the house.
I realise this doesn't work for everyone. Children and pets turning blue should be a priority. Turn it up to a balmy 16°C and have them run laps occasionally.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Met Office yellow warning for heavy rain is in force over much of the nation from Friday night until 06:00 BST on Sunday.
The period of heat for much of the UK is due to warm and humid air originating from north-west Africa and the Canaries, which has set many October records across Europe in recent days.
The Met Office has predicted widespread disruption for the west coast, parts of the central belt and the Highlands including Glasgow, Stirling and Fort William.
"While the cooler conditions in Scotland this weekend may bring on the autumn colours, overall it looks like temperatures will largely be at or above normal in most areas," he explained.
As low pressure systems dominate to the west and north-west of the UK, parts of western Scotland especially could continue to experience above-average rainfall."
Unseasonal warm weather is likely to become more common due to climate change, which is having an increasing impact on all parts of the UK.
