Cloudy with patchy rain on Thursday, turning more persistent then clearing eastwards overnight into Friday. Rather breezy at times, and feeling colder on Saturday as winds turn north-westerly.

Temperatures likely closer to average than of late with an often brisk westerly flow bringing systems in from the Atlantic. Some longer spells of rain may spread erratically southeastwards across parts of the UK at the start of the weekend, especially in the north and perhaps accompanied by windy conditions, but with a trend for high pressure to build close to the UK later in the weekend and beyond into early November. This should offer some longer drier spells of weather, with an increased chance of frost and fog, which could be slow to clear in places. However, it may remain rather breezy or windy at times in the northwest, with some occasional outbreaks of rain here.

After a potentially settled start to November, with high pressure often in the vicinity of the UK leading to more widely drier conditions and the chance of frost and fog, perhaps slow to clear in places, it is likely this will be increasingly displaced to allow lower pressure to become more dominant with time. As such, there will be an increasing chance of rain or showers becoming more prevalent towards mid-November. Temperatures may initially be below average, but will probably recover closer to average with the onset of more unsettled conditions.
