..............Thursday 16 Oct - Saturday 25 Oct
High pressure is expected to dominate the UK weather at the start of this period. Whilst a little rain and drizzle is likely in parts of the southeast and north, mainly over the higher ground, much of the UK will be predominantly dry. Cloud amounts will be variable but often large, although there will be some spells of sunshine. There are likely to be some fog patches overnight, slowly clearing through the morning. Temperatures are likely to be close to normal for the time of year overall. During the second half of this period, there are signs that the general pattern will shift with low pressure systems probably moving in from the west in some fashion. However, details of any more unsettled weather are still very uncertain.
Sunday 26 Oct - Sunday 9 Nov
This period is likely to see changeable conditions across the UK with low pressure systems tending to dominate. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely at times, perhaps heavy in places, with some strong winds also possible at times. However, there will also likely be some temporary drier interludes at times. Temperatures will probably be close to normal overall...........................................
