UK long range weather forecast
Conditions across the UK are likely to become more settled and drier through the first half of November. Thursday will see bright and fine conditions across many southern areas although it will be cloudy and breezy in northern areas with outbreaks of patchy light rain and drizzle. Temperatures are likely to be slightly below average through to the end of the week. Temperatures will then recover to near normal, with the risk of overnight frost and morning fog becoming more prevalent, especially in the south. For the rest of the period many areas are likely to be dry and settled with lighter winds especially across the south. The far north will see more changeable conditions with showers or longer spells of rain at times.
Updated:
Settled weather is likely to continue until late November, with high pressure looking to dominate especially in the south of the UK. This will bring generally dry conditions, particularly for the south, with any spells of wet and windy weather mostly confined to the north. Towards the latter part of November the current models suggest an autumnal feel, with unsettled conditions developing more widely.
