Largely dry and mostly cloudy this evening and overnight. Cloud may be thick enough to give the odd spot of drizzle, especially on coasts and hills. A few clear spells are possible, mainly to the lee of hills. Light winds. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Saturday:

A mostly cloudy start Saturday, with limited bright or sunny intervals. Becoming brighter through the afternoon as clouds lift. Dry throughout, gradually turning breezier. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Windy Sunday, with rain moving slowly eastward, occasionally heavy. Fog overnight before becoming cloudy with rain and heavy showers Monday. Brighter Tuesday with occasional showers. Temperatures around average.

An unsettled weather pattern is likely to dominate across the UK at the start of this period. Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, and strong winds are expected to spread from the southwest as a deep area of low pressure crosses the UK later next week. This system will likely move away to leave the following weekend showery and cooler. Into the following week, conditions are expected to be changeable with showers or longer spells of rain across many parts of the UK. The wettest weather will probably be in parts of the north or northeast, with the southwest driest overall. Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly below normal for the time of year.

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.
