Turning more unsettled over the weekend.
Remaining settled albeit rather cloudy overnight with further light drizzle possible, mainly along eastern coasts. Feeling chilly beneath clear skies in Scotland with a patchy frost or fog possibly forming by dawn. Turning breezier in the far west.
Cloudy for many with any brighter breaks short-lived, as a veil of high cloud spills from the west. Becoming breezier for all later, with rain arriving into the far west.
Unsettled and breezy, with rain spreading eastwards through Sunday, prolonged and heavy in places. Blustery showers from Monday, some thundery at first, a few sunny spells too. Temperatures near normal.
Updated:
The unsettled weather looks to continue, with areas of low pressure running in from the west or southwest. This means further spells of rain or showers, possibly accompanied by strong winds at times, with one particular watch point for this in the first couple of days of this period. That said, some drier interludes are still probable, though the duration of these much shorter than the predominantly dry spell at present. Temperatures probably near normal overall, but day-to-day values high dependent on the track of any lows. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK.
Updated:
A showery northwesterly regime should give way to a generally changeable and at times unsettled period as we move into early November, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track towards the UK. Given this setup, the wettest conditions are most likely in the west, and strong winds could feature at times too. There are just hints that a drier interlude may unfurl across more southern areas towards mid-month, which could increase the incidence of overnight fog.
