Temperatures in south and central England are expected to reach between 21C and 24C on Saturday and Sunday.
The average temperatures for mid-October in previous years has been around 15C.
But on Monday parts of the UK will be hit by winds of up to 80mph (128km/h), and temperatures are expected to get up to 25C as a result of the hurricane.
Western England, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland will be most affected by the storm winds.
The hurricane is moving towards the UK from the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, with wind speeds of 100mph (160km/h), and has been upgraded to a category two hurricane, which means it could reach wind speeds of up to 110mph (177km/h).
It will hit the UK on the 30th anniversary of the Great Storm of 1987, which battered parts of southern England.
Although he was right, storm winds of 100mph did batter the south of England, leaving a trail of destruction.
Eighteen people died and 15 million trees were destroyed as a result of the high winds.
It is thought that the storm caused £1bn in damage to property and infrastructure.
The Met Office has issued severe weather alerts ahead of Ophelia and has warned there could be potential power cuts, disruption to road and rail networks, and damage to buildings as a result of Monday's stormy weather.
But parts of England will benefit from the warm temperatures brought by the storm, with areas as far up as Nottingham expected to hit highs of 21C on Monday.
Clouds in central and southern England are expected to break up to provide sunny spells over the course of the weekend.
Some parts of the country are already enjoying a "mini heatwave". Ian Senior tweeted a screenshot of the temperature in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, which was 17C on Saturday morning.
Jennie, who lives in Leeds, also wrote on Twitter that she never thought she would be "walk[ing] around bare legged wearing a skirt and short sleeved T-shirt" in mid-October.
