Mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain or drizzle at first, then perhaps a brief drier interlude, before heavy rain arrives in the afternoon. Winds strengthening later in the day as Storm Amy approaches the UK. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Strong winds, with a risk of gales, mainly on high ground and coasts. Cloudy with outbreaks of rain, occasionally heavy. Rain clearing in the early hours, followed by clear spells. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Saturday:

Further outbreaks of rain clearing southwards during the morning, otherwise mostly dry with sunny spells and isolated showers. Remaining windy with gales possible, especially on coasts and high ground. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Occasionally unsettled with some showers or longer spells of rain, but also brighter spells. Often fairly windy, although less so than Friday and Saturday. Mild.

A broadly westerly pattern to start, allowing maintain relatively mild conditions, especially by night, and with frontal systems moving in from the Atlantic. These will bring further spells of rain or drizzle and strong winds at times, these more likely affecting northern and western areas, and especially windward high ground. Eastern areas generally look drier. By the following weekend (11/12 October), there is a signal for pressure to build to the west or southwest of the UK, whilst low pressure becomes more prevalent to the east. This means the bulk of the wet and at times windy weather could shift to affect more eastern areas, with the best of the dry weather towards west or southwest. Within this pattern, there is the possibility of slightly cooler conditions developing.

The latter half of October will probably see a transition to more widely unsettled conditions once more. 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. Temperatures probably close to average overall.
