Wednesday:

Windy. Most staying dry through to mid-afternoon with some limited early brightness. Patchy rain feeding from the west late afternoon to early evening. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Early rain Thursday, clearing erratically as brighter spells and showers feed from the northwest. Showers for Friday, focused in west. Saturday mainly dry, occasionally bright.

High pressure is expected to lie close to or across the UK through much of this period. This will mean largely fine and dry weather for many, perhaps with some overnight mist and fog patches. Weak frontal systems could bring some rain from the west and showers may spread in from eastern coasts at times. Winds are expected to be mostly light. Temperatures will likely be around normal for the time of year, with frosty mornings in the usual prone areas.

High pressure will probably be dominant at first with many areas fine and dry. A transition to more changeable or unsettled weather patterns is expected during the first part of November with showers or longer spells of rain becoming more likely. Temperatures are likely to be near to or above normal for the period as a whole.
