Very wet to begin this evening but rain easing soon after midnight with clearer skies developing overnight. Isolated showers through the early hours. Breezy at times and turning colder. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Sunday:

A largely bright and breezy day with a mixture of sunny periods and patchy cloud. An isolated shower can't be ruled out but most places staying dry. Feeling colder. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

High pressure will bring a much more settled picture early next week. Often sunny on Monday, then somewhat cloudier on Tuesday and Wednesday. Feeling cool with rural frosts possible overnight.

High pressure will dominate across many parts of the UK at first, leading to widely settled conditions and some patchy frost and fog at night. The main exception initially will be in East Anglia and southeast England, where showers will be possible, accompanied by a brisk breeze at times. These may ease later in the week, as low pressure over the North Atlantic attempts to push some cloud and patchy rain towards western and northwestern parts of the UK. Temperatures should gradually return closer to average. By early October, confidence in the overall weather patterns affecting the UK is very low, and whilst it may turn more changeable the wettest conditions are most likely towards the west and northwest.

Confidence is very low in the weather regimes most likely to affect the UK during this period. On balance, slow-moving weather patterns are most favoured at first, possibly with high pressure centred to the west of the UK, and low pressure to the northeast, allowing a slightly cooler and more changeable flavour to the weather to develop. Towards mid-October a more unsettled pattern may become established as areas of low pressure over the North Atlantic move close to or over the UK, with an increased chance in windy conditions at times. Temperatures will probably recover to near-average.
