Breezy, with a mix of sunshine and showers

Today:

A cloudy start, though sunny spells developing through the morning. The best of the sunshine in the southwest, with showers soon arriving in the afternoon, heaviest, and at times thundery, in the southeast. Feeling breezy, especially into the afternoon. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining rather breezy, though showers easing through this evening. Turning cloudier overnight with mist and patchy hill fog forming over the mountains, though remaining mild under cloudy skies. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

Another day of sunshine and showers, these occasionally heavy, and at times thundery, spreading northwards across the country through the afternoon. Generally light winds, though feeling breezy in the mountains. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Overcast with persistent rain through Sunday, heavy and thundery at times. Drier by Monday, though still cloudy, with further showers developing on coastal parts through Tuesday. Feeling cooler next week.

Some rain across southeastern parts, lighter and not as extensive as previous days and tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing for most places, although with a band of cloud and some rain moving across the far north, particularly the northwest and a few showers moving into western parts further south. Temperatures likely a bit cooler than previous days. A transition to a generally more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain moving into many areas, but more especially in the south. Towards the end of the week, much cooler, showery conditions are expected for many parts with the north and west likely being a focus for these showers.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
