UK long range weather forecast
Central and northern areas are expected to start the period with some sunny spells, but more persistent cloud and outbreaks of rain are likely towards the south. The rain is expected to spread northwards over the weekend, before showers become the prominent theme across much of the country, the heaviest and most frequent of these likely in the northwest. Temperatures slightly below normal for the time of year, although it could remain mild in the southeast, and some widespread overnight frost is possible under clearer skies. Some dry spells are possible towards the latter stages of the period, but a trend towards increasingly frequent spells of unsettled weather is more probable, which could produce generally wetter than average conditions across the UK from the around middle of the month onwards.
Updated:
While it is likely to remain initially unsettled, with wetter than average conditions and some windy spells, there are indications for more prolonged dry and settled periods towards the end of the October and into early November. These are likely to be characterised by spells of clear and calm weather, which could bring some overnight fog in places. Temperatures are generally expected to be slightly above average for the time of year, with the chance of overnight frost lower than it would normally be for many areas.
