Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
................Saturday 26 Oct - Monday 4 Nov
Temperatures likely closer to average than of late with an often brisk westerly
flow bringing systems in from the Atlantic. Some longer spells of rain may
spread erratically southeastwards across parts of the UK at the start of the
weekend, especially in the north and perhaps accompanied by windy conditions,
but with a trend for high pressure to build close to the UK later in the weekend
and beyond into early November. This should offer some longer drier spells of
weather, with an increased chance of frost and fog, which could be slow to clear
in places. However, it may remain rather breezy or windy at times in the
northwest, with some occasional outbreaks of rain here.
Tuesday 5 Nov - Tuesday 19 Nov
After a potentially settled start to November, with high pressure often in the
vicinity of the UK leading to more widely drier conditions and the chance of
frost and fog, perhaps slow to clear in places, it is likely this will be
increasingly displaced to allow lower pressure to become more dominant with
time. As such, there will be an increasing chance of rain or showers becoming
more prevalent towards mid-November. Temperatures may initially be below
average, but will probably recover closer to average with the onset of more
unsettled conditions..........................
As
well as my own weather station in Harpur Hill in Buxton, at

Volunteers, manning the Met Office Climatological Station, on the Slopes, near
