UK weather

Headline:

A brief lull before Storm Boelo brings a windy weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

Storm Austen clearing with winds easing this evening. Showers continuing across some southwestern areas but most places becoming dry with clear spells. Cold and locally frosty in the northeast but rain and freshening winds arriving in the far west later.

Saturday:

After a bright start in some eastern areas, heavy rain and strengthening winds quickly sweeping east as Storm Boelo arrives. Gales developing for many with damaging winds possible further north.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Severe gales and damaging wind gusts in northern regions on Sunday, but sunny periods across many areas too. Storm Boelo clearing Scotland later but staying very unsettled early next week.

After an unsettled start to the week conditions will likely become more settled with rain and stronger winds becoming more confined to northwestern areas. Likely turning drier and calmer across the south and east bringing a greater chance of chilly nights and morning fog patches. A similar pattern then likely continuing during early November though with a chance that settled conditions may develop more widely for a time. Temperatures varying around average.

Slowly evolving weather patterns are more likely than normal during early in November which increase the chance of spells of settled and drier weather. Most areas are still likely to see some rain or showers at times but the focus of these more likely across the northwest of the UK. Into mid-November, the chances of a more unsettled weather regime increases again with more frequent spells of rain for many areas and likely windy at times. Some cold nights possible during more settled spells, otherwise temperatures likely to be close to, perhaps a little above average.
