UK long range weather forecast
Through this period, Atlantic systems will move in from the west, bringing unsettled and windy conditions. On Thursday, the northwest may start mainly dry with a few showers, but turning wetter later as some rainbands becoming slow-moving, while the southeast is more likely to see dry and fine conditions. The rest of October will continue to see unsettled and windy weather from the Atlantic, with outbreaks of potentially heavy rain for many. Some possible slow-moving rainbands may bring potentially locally large rainfall accumulations, particularly over western hills. Wettest in the west and northwest, but still with brief dry interludes. Driest conditions likely across some south and southeastern areas, with lighter winds and a risk of overnight fog towards the end of the period. Temperatures generally around or slightly above average.
Updated:
In the longer term, a continuation of the generally unsettled theme seems likely at first, with more rain and further showers in many places, especially once again in western areas - with temperatures around or a little above average. Towards the middle and end of November, there are signals for a greater chance of more settled conditions developing, particularly in southern and western areas, where colder nights, with a risk of frosts are likely, as well as an increased chance of mist and fog - especially overnight.
