This Evening and Tonight:

Winds strengthening further this evening, with a risk of gales, mainly on coasts. Cloudy with frequent outbreaks of rain, occasionally heavy lasting through most of the night. Rain clearing to the southeast by dawn. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Saturday:

Mostly dry with sunny spells and isolated showers, but outbreaks of rain possible in the north of the region for a time. Remaining windy with gales possible, especially on coasts. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

More settled than previous days. Dry interludes with sunny spells, but also isolated showers and outbreaks of rain. Wind easing on Sunday, although still breezy at times. Mild.

A broadly westerly pattern to start, maintaining relatively mild conditions, especially by night, with some weaker frontal systems moving in from the Atlantic. These will bring further spells of rain or drizzle at times, most likely affecting northern and western areas. Eastern areas generally look drier. By the weekend (11/12 October), there is a signal for pressure to build from the west or southwest of the UK, this means mostly lighter winds and settled for the bulk of the UK with only a risk of wet and at times windy weather for the north or east at the weekend. Under the settled conditions variable amounts of cloud, but fog an increasing risk where skies remain clear, possibly turning cooler later in the period as winds come from the east.

The latter half of October will see a transition to more widely unsettled conditions once more, though the timing of this remains unclear. Whether this takes the form of successive depressions moving in from the Atlantic or a rather slower evolving weather pattern remains to be seen, but there is a greater chance of more places seeing more frequent spells of rain or showers and possibly strong winds later in the month. Temperatures probably close to average overall.
