Overall, a fairly unsettled period is likely, with many places seeing showers or longer spells of rain at times, interspersed by drier periods. Rain will likely be most frequent across northern and western areas, while the south and east are more likely to see longer drier interludes. There is also the potential for some strong and gusty winds, particularly in the northwest. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although brief warm or very warm spells are possible, especially in the south.

Confidence is low from mid-September onwards, however a gradual transition towards slightly more settled conditions for the second half of the month is currently signalled. The distribution of rainfall is uncertain at this range, but drier conditions compared to earlier in the month are likely for most, with any wetter spells generally more likely across the northwest. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, although some warm spells are possible, particularly in the south.
