Through the second half of next week, the vast majority of the UK is expected to be fine and dry, with spells of sunshine for most areas during the day. If any rainfall develops it will likely be confined to the far north or northwest and only at the start of this period. Daytime temperatures will likely be above average for many regions, although some cool nights are possible with mist or fog patches developing overnight. Fairly strong winds could affect the south at times. There is little change expected during the following weekend and much of the week that follows, although by late September there is a chance that more unsettled conditions may begin to develop.

Typical Autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types during late September and early October. Periods of wet, unsettled weather will likely be broken up by some spells of more settled, drier weather. Overall, the wettest conditions will probably be in the west with the east drier. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average.
