UK weather

Headline:

Storm Boelo brings some very windy weather to the north.

This Evening and Tonight:

Rain clears much of England and Wales this evening, followed by clear spells and a few showers. Frequent showers persist across Scotland and Northern Ireland as winds strengthen further, bringing the risk of some damaging gusts of wind in places.

Sunday:

Showers or longer spells of rain continue for Scotland and Northern Ireland, with winds only slowly easing. Drier and brighter elsewhere, with blustery showers in the north and west.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Remaining unsettled with further wind and rain, especially in the north. Conditions improve on Wednesday with brighter spells and mostly dry weather, though some showers may continue towards the west.

A band of rain will make increasingly erratic eastwards progress at the start of this period, whilst tending to fizzle out, as high pressure becomes more dominant in the vicinity of the UK. Into early November and high pressure will most likely continue to be dominant feature near the UK, meaning drier than normal conditions for most if not all, though it could be rather cloudy and grey at times. If light winds and/or clear skies combine overnight, then areas of fog could develop, as would be typical at this time of year. Overall, temperatures are likely to be close to normal, but with the potential for cold nights with some frost around.

Perhaps mostly settled to start, perhaps with some chilly nights, but as we move further into November, there is an increased chance of more unsettled conditions developing, with a return to spells of rain and possible strong winds. However, the extent and location of areas which would be wetter and/or windier is uncertain and may not occur in the climatologically wettest areas. Overall temperatures probably near or a little above average.
