This Evening and Tonight:

A dry and bright evening likely. Staying largely clear overnight to give a chilly night with patches of mist and fog in rural prone spots by dawn. Likely becoming cloudier towards the coast by the morning. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Wednesday:

Any mist or fog clearing to a fine day, staying dry but cloudier towards the coast during the morning, this tending to clear away during the afternoon before returning overnight. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Easterly winds seeing cloudier conditions with some light rain and drizzle at times. Brighter spells possible further inland by day. Warm, but feeling cooler towards the coast.

Showers or longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south and southwest but tending to ease away to the southeast early next week. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible during the first part of next week, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
