Largely dry and mostly cloudy, with occasional clear spells. Some low cloud on the Derbyshire hills, with the odd spot of drizzle. Perhaps some patchy mist or fog forming under any clearer spells overnight. Light winds. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Friday:

Little change is expected, with variable cloud and some brighter or sunny spells, but also one or two spots of drizzle possible. Winds will remain light. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Fine, but turning breezier Saturday, with early sunny spells, before cloud thickens later. Windy Sunday, with rain moving east during the afternoon, occasionally heavy. Sunshine and heavy showers follow Monday.

The unsettled weather looks to continue, with areas of low pressure running in from the west or southwest. This means further spells of rain or showers, possibly accompanied by strong winds at times, with one particular watch point for this in the first couple of days of this period. That said, some drier interludes are still probable, though the duration of these much shorter than the predominantly dry spell at present. Temperatures probably near normal overall, but day-to-day values high dependent on the track of any lows. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK.

A showery northwesterly regime should give way to a generally changeable and at times unsettled period as we move into early November, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track towards the UK. Given this setup, the wettest conditions are most likely in the west, and strong winds could feature at times too. There are just hints that a drier interlude may unfurl across more southern areas towards mid-month, which could increase the incidence of overnight fog.
