Strong winds continue as Storm Boelo slowly clears away

Today:

Storm Boelo continues to bring strong winds on Sunday, with showers and longer spells of rain affecting Scotland and Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, there will be some sunshine, although scattered showers develop in the west and north. Temperatures near average.

Tonight:

Showers and strong winds in the north ease overnight, with many places dry. Rain and strengthening winds reach the southwest later. Chilly for some, with patchy frost possible further north.

Monday:

Rain sweeps northeast across the UK, with strengthening winds bringing gales in the north later. Despite the wet weather, temperatures will be widely above average, feeling mild for late October.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Tuesday remains windy with rain in the north at first. Sunshine and showers follow Wednesday. Thursday brings a quieter spell for many, before rain edges into the far northwest later.

A band of rain will make erratic eastward progress at the start of this period, clearing to the east or dying out as high pressure becomes more dominant in the vicinity of the UK. Into early November, high pressure will most likely be the dominant feature near the UK, meaning drier than normal conditions for most if not all areas, 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. Overall, temperatures are likely to be close to normal, but with the potential for cold nights with some frost.

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.
