Changeable as Atlantic frontal systems bring spells of rain, showers and occasional strong winds. The wettest and windiest conditions are most likely across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but wet and windy weather may extend more widely across England and Wales at times. Between systems, periods of drier and more settled weather are likely, especially in the south and east. More widely dry and more settled conditions could develop through the first week of October. Temperatures are expected to be slightly above normal overall.

Perhaps a spell of mainly dry and settled weather at the start of this period. Thereafter, conditions will probably turn more changeable further into October. Wet and windy conditions become more likely, with a risk of deep areas of low pressure moving across the UK. Temperatures will probably be above normal overall.
