More than 80 record lows broken or tied this morning (dark blue)!
This is a huge feat given that fall has warmed by about ~3F here in the SE in the last 50 years.
I can’t remember a cold air outbreak in November with this many record lows.

Another exceptional warm spell is brewing in Europe:
Prepare for record warm conditions in parts of France,Germany,Switzerland,Austria,and than Eastern Europe but specially at high elevations in Alpine areas,because thermal inversions will be present.
It's being an extraordinary warm November in Europe where hundreds of records have fallen from West to East from South to North.
The exception is Italy,which is also the only country worldwide which hasn' t broken a single heat record in the whole season and is not expected to do so
