Sunny spells and scattered showers. A windy day.

Today:

A mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers throughout the day, these will be locally heavy at times, especially on northern hills. A windy day, locally gusty, especially across the Pennines. Temperatures near average. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Any showers will soon fade to leave a largely dry night, with lengthy clear spells for many. Turning locally chilly in some sheltered rural spots. Windy, especially on hills. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Sunday:

After a cool start it will be a fine day with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells for many. Windy at first, gradually easing. Cloud and rain arriving overnight. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Early rain clearing to leave drier and brighter conditions Monday. Mostly cloudy Tuesday, with brightest skies in the east. Band of rain moves southeast Wednesday. Warmer days, but chillier nights.

A changeable period is expected, with Atlantic weather systems bringing spells of rain, showers and occasional strong winds. The wettest and windiest conditions are most likely across northern and western areas, although stronger winds may at times extend more widely. Between these unsettled spells, periods of drier and more settled weather are likely, especially in the south and east, where they may last for a few days. Accompanying these may be some overnight fog and frost. Temperatures are expected to be slightly above average overall.

Changeable and occasionally unsettled weather is likely to become more frequent through October, with spells of rain and stronger winds increasingly likely to move in from the Atlantic. Between these periods, some drier and brighter interludes are also expected. As is often the case for October, deeper areas of low pressure may occasionally bring spells of very strong winds. Temperatures are expected to remain slightly above average overall, although brief cooler interludes are possible.
