UK weather

Headline:

Storm Austen moves eastwards with Strom Boelo to come.

Today:

Severe gales in the south and west, as Storm Austen moves its way eastwards, these easing later. Winds increasing through the day elsewhere, with heavy rain or showers for many but turning drier in the west. Feeling rather cold.

Tonight:

Storm Austen moves off towards the North Sea as winds slowly ease overnight. Much drier for all but rain and showers move into the west by dawn. Staying rather cloudy.

Saturday:

Storm Boelo moves into the northwest, bringing widespread rain for all, heaviest in the west. Winds strengthen through the day with the strongest being in the north and west. Mild.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Sunny spells and showers dominate through Sunday, with heavier showers and very strong winds in the north. Rain spreads across the UK on Monday, with milder conditions in the south.

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 vary around average.
