A dry but cloudy and breezy start. Becoming increasingly windy as outbreaks of rain, perhaps heavy at times, spread eastward through the afternoon then turning showery later. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Remaining cloudy and breezy especially along the coast, evening showers will gradually ease to give drier conditions by the morning. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Sunny intervals and possible isolated showers during the morning, becoming more settled in the afternoon and feeling warm as the winds ease. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Cloudy with heavy rain Saturday. Mostly cloudy with occasional showers Sunday. Heavy rain during the afternoon, becoming breezy. Temperatures trending a little above average.

Remaining changeable, with occasional rain or showers arriving from the North Atlantic, most frequent across northern and western parts of the UK, where some strong winds will also be possible at times. However, there will also be some reasonable dry and more settled periods, especially across southern areas. Later in the month, high pressure may become more dominant in the vicinity of the UK, perhaps bringing more widely settled conditions for a time, especially away from the far north. Temperatures for the period as a whole will probably be close to average overall, but there is scope for some rather warm days at times, along with occasional relatively cool nights.

High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may start to weaken its influence on the weather later in the month and into early October. As a result, it may become more changeable with a greater chance of rain or showers in places, and perhaps some strong winds at times too. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, with relatively cool nights possible at first tending to reduce in frequency later in the period.
