Sunshine and scattered showers to start to the period on Monday, these showers will be mostly widespread and heavy in the northwest. More organised showers potentially developing in the southwest. Winds will be moderate to fresh for most. Showers continuing in the west on Tuesday before more prolonged, organised rain arrives. Temperatures trending upwards through the first few days of this period before they remain just above average. The rest of October will be dominated by weather arriving from the Atlantic. Often unsettled and windy, with outbreaks of rain. Wettest in the north and west. Briefer dry interludes. Driest conditions likely across south and southeastern areas.
