UK weather

Headline:

Turning drier and calmer for many during the coming days.

Today:

A breezy day today with a mixture of cloud and scattered showers. Showers will be most frequent in the north and west, with the best of the brightness towards the southeast. Mild for all.

Thursday:

A mainly dry day with a mix of cloud and sunny spells, after the clearance of morning fog and low cloud from southern and central England. Temperatures near average.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rain will move into northern and western areas for a time during Friday and Saturday. Otherwise largely dry and settled with variable amounts of cloud and some night-time fog.

Pressure is set to build in the vicinity of the UK as we move into early November, with a lot of dry weather as a result. Cloud amounts will be quite variable with weak fronts bringing a focus of cloud, and possibly light rain at times, but there is no significant bias to where these are favoured. Within the high pressure, some places, perhaps more likely towards the east, will likely see overnight and morning fog, which at this time of year could take a while to clear and where it lingers, it will remain chilly. Otherwise, temperatures generally fairly close to average for most during this period. Winds will generally be light, although stronger for the coastal north at times.

Probably largely settled at first, perhaps with some chilly nights. Moving further into November, there is an increased chance of more unsettled conditions developing, with a return to spells of rain and potential for strong winds. However, the extent and location of wettest or windiest areas is uncertain. Overall, temperatures will probably be near or a little above average.
