UK weather

Headline:

Storm Boelo moves in bringing strong winds and heavy rain.

Today:

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

Tonight:

Much of the rain clears the southeast through the night with some heavy showers continuing in the north with Storm Boelo slowly tracking eastwards. Staying windy with gales further north.

Sunday:

Strong winds remain for many with gales in the northeast. Slowly easing through the day as Storm Boelo moves off. Sunny spells in the south with showers in the north.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Rain and strong winds affect many areas, especially in the north. Conditions improve on Wednesday with brighter spells and mostly dry weather, though some northern and western showers remain.

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.
