Rather cloudy with some rain or showers in eastern parts of England, else mainly dry with sunny spells, just the odd shower around. Windy for many, particularly in the east with coastal gales possible. Chilly.
Tonight:
Cloudy and windy with the odd light shower in the east. Otherwise dry with good clear spells and cold with frost for some, particularly Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Dry for most with only the odd spot of light rain in the far east and still windy here. Good sunshine in the west but still cold.

A fine interlude for many on Monday. Cloud and increasingly patchy rain moving east, clearing the southeast early Tuesday followed by a bright, mostly dry day. Turning unsettled on Wednesday.

UK long range weather forecast
An unsettled period, with plenty of showers and some occasional longer spells of rain across much of the country. Some drier and brighter spells are possible at times, which will most likely in southern and eastern areas. The heaviest and most prolonged spells of rain will be in the north and west to begin with but, with time, they are likely to become more widespread across the UK. It will be generally windy, with a risk of gales at times (potentially severe), particularly in northern and northwestern regions. Feeling cold through much of early October, especially where there is persistent rain and strong winds. Frost is possible at night in any calmer period, especially in northern Britain.
Updated:
A potential change in the weather is anticipated around the middle of October. Whilst further rain and strong winds are likely at times, spells of fine and dry weather could become more widespread and long-lived. At night, these calmer conditions could allow frost and fog to form more readily. At this time of year, there is potential for fog to linger well into the daytime. Overall, temperatures probably recovering close to the seasonal average for mid-October.
