UK long range weather forecast
A largely unsettled picture looking ahead through the forecast period. A band of rain and showers is expected to move eastward across the country through Wednesday, bringing strengthening winds and possibly gales later in the west. Generally windy conditions coupled with further spells of rain and showers will continue through the rest of the week and likely into the following week too, heaviest most probable in the north and northeast which may also see gales at times. Meanwhile there may still be brief interludes of drier and sunnier weather, most likely perhaps in the south and southwest. Temperatures will generally be cool and overnight frost may be seen in prone parts of the north as and when calmer spells of weather allow.
Updated:
The early part of October is looking to be a cool and unsettled period at first. Overall, southern parts may see the most of dry and brighter spells whilst the wettest and windiest weather will be most likely across the north and northwest. Later in the month, conditions may generally begin to settle down and temperatures may nudge back towards average or slightly above average for the time of year, though with significant variation between warm and cool spells. Morning fog and patchy frost may also become more prevalent towards mid-month.
