Britain has experienced its warmest Halloween on record, with temperatures passing 23 degrees early in the afternoon.
The previous record of 20C (68F) set by Dartford in Kent in 1968 was broken by Filton in Bristol just before midday as the mercury there hit 20.5C (68.9F).
But at 1.15pm the Met Office announced that the temperature in Gravesend, Kent, had soared to 23.5C (74.3F).
Forecasters had predicted that temperatures could reach 21C (70F), a continuation of the mild weather that has already seen 2014 become the hottest on record.
Nine months of this year have seen above-average mean temperatures, with only August falling below average.
Sky News Weather Producer Chris England said: "The highest temperature we've seen was 23.3C at Gravesend, which is well above the previous Halloween record 19.4 C in 1968.
"That follows a warm October, and a warm year so far. In fact, it's the warmest on record so far, but it will turn much colder next week.
"It will cool off a little over the weekend, and there will be some rain, but there will still be some warmth to enjoy."
The average temperature across the UK this month has been 11C (51.8), which is 1.5C above normal and a few degrees below the 2001 record of 12.2C (54F).
Despite the warmer weather, however, sunshine hours have been 15% below average and rainfall has been 16% higher than average.
Parts of Scotland, the Isle of Man and Cumbria have been much wetter than average, while Wales was drier.
Sun seekers will want to make the best of the warmth though, as temperatures will plunge back to the November average of around 10C (50F) next week.
