Generally dry with variable cloud and occasional clearer periods.Winds will ease further with isolated mist or fog patches possible in sheltered rural spots. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Monday:

Generally dry with warm bright spells, perhaps the best of the bright conditions towards Kent. A gentle breeze for most. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Variable cloud, often dry with bright spells. Cloudier Wednesday with patchy light rain, clearing later. Isolated fog patches Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Winds generally light, with daytime temperatures near average.

On Thursday, the south of the UK will see residual patchy light rain and drizzle clear to the southeast during the day, with skies then brightening. The north of the UK, especially northwest Scotland, will also see some rain and drizzle, and it will be rather windy here. The rest of the country will be dry and bright with some sunshine and fairly light winds. Thereafter, high pressure is expected to dominate for most if not all of the rest of the period, bringing plenty of dry, settled weather. Cloud amounts will be variable, and some overnight fog is likely, this slowly clearing through the morning. Thicker cloud and some rain may affect the far north at times though. Temperatures will be near average, but with some chilly nights possible.

The latter half of October will likely see a transition to more widely unsettled conditions again, though the timing of this is uncertain. Whether this takes the form of successive depressions moving in from the Atlantic or a rather slower-evolving weather pattern remains to be seen, but there is a greater chance of more places seeing more frequent spells of rain or showers and possibly strong winds later in the month, these conditions continuing into the start of November. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall.
