According to BBC UK, the weather for most people over the weekend is anticipated to be a mix of conditions, with many expecting a cooler beginning on Saturday. A strengthening north-westerly wind is forecast to bring showers throughout the UK. Sunday is expected to be calmer, with sunshine in the north and east, and rain moving into the south and west.
Looking toward the following week, there will be a shift toward above-average temperatures. Tuesday is projected to be the warmest day of the period, with some areas potentially reaching 21C. However, a deep area of low pressure is anticipated to cause stormy weather across the north.
On Saturday, which is expected to be the more unsettled day of the weekend, conditions will generally be cool with blustery showers. Scotland and Northern England are likely to experience the strongest winds, including local coastal gales. The dominant weather theme will be sunshine and showers, with the northern and eastern regions potentially seeing the highest concentration of these, and possibly hail and thunder as well. In other areas, scattered showers are expected, but many locations in the south should experience extended dry spells with sunshine, and temperatures averaging typical for October.
Sunday might begin with a chilly start, with grass frost possible in rural eastern areas. Some localized fog patches are likely early on, particularly in sheltered rural spots, before lifting to allow for spells of sunshine and variable cloud for many. For Scotland and Northern England, Sunday is likely to be the drier day of the weekend with sunshine, although cloud and patchy rain could advance into the south-west by lunchtime. This pattern is expected to gradually move across the remainder of southern England and into Wales, accompanied by a strengthening southerly breeze and a gradual return to milder air.
Next week is set to transition to milder and more humid conditions. Monday is likely to be a fairly grey day with patchy rain and hill fog, though brighter spells may develop later in the day for some locations. Temperatures are expected to be approximately 3 degrees higher than Sunday, and cloudy overnight skies may create a feeling of mildness. Tuesday is anticipated to be the warmest day of the period. However, a deep area of low pressure across the north of the UK will bring a period of autumn gales, along with heavy rain that will drift southwards, though there is little indication of where it is most needed across eastern England. Once this clears, many places should see sunshine developing, and temperatures across England and Wales could widely reach between 18-21 Celsius. This level is several degrees above the mid-October average and might briefly feel like late summer before more variable conditions return later in the week.
