UK long range weather forecast
It is set to be a continued unsettled picture looking ahead through the forecast period. Generally windy conditions coupled with spells of rain and showers will continue through the weekend and likely into the following week as well, with those showers becoming heavy and blustery at times. The heaviest rain most likely 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 in the south and southwest. Temperatures will generally be rather cool, potentially cooler in more persistent rainfall, and overnight frost may be seen in prone parts of the north as and when calmer spells of weather allow.
Updated:
During the early part of October, a cool and unsettled period is likely. Overall, southern parts may see the most of any dry and brighter spells, whilst the wettest and windiest weather will be most likely across the north and northwest. Towards the middle of the month, conditions may 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 warmer and colder spells. Morning fog and patchy frost may also become more prevalent towards mid-month.
