UK long range weather forecast
A brief period of drier weather on Sunday, though it will be cool with a ground frost possible even in the south. Into the start of next week, it is set to return to an unsettled picture. Generally windy weather coupled with showers and occasional longer spells of rain. The heaviest rain most likely in the north and northwest, which may also see gales at times. Although in the east and southeast, there may still be brief interludes of drier and sunnier weather. 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:
Further into October, conditions are likely to remain unsettled for most. The most unsettled conditions being in southern areas. Generally windy with a chance of gales however the risk of gales reduces later in the period. Feeling cool throughout with a risk of overnight frost. Lighter winds means that morning fog patches may also become more prevalent towards mid-month.
