Monday will see cloud and outbreaks of rain slowly moving southeast, with drier conditions ahead of this, and sunny spells and showers to the northwest. After this, confidence reduces; however further areas of low pressure are likely to move towards the UK. Northwestern areas are most prone to spells of rain and wind, while the southeast has the best chance of some drier spells, which may temporarily extend further north at times. Temperatures are likely to be generally above average, especially towards the south. Towards the end of this period, a similar theme is likely to persist, with the greatest chance of unsettled conditions towards the northwest, while central and southern areas have a greater chance of drier spells. Temperatures are likely to remain generally above average.

Through early to mid October, generally blocked weather patterns are more likely than average, however there is significant uncertainty around the detail and resultant conditions over the UK. A typical mix of autumnal conditions may occur at times, although drier than average conditions are slightly more likely than wetter than average conditions over this period as a whole. Above average temperatures also continue to be more likely than below average temperatures, although cool nights, along with patchy mist and fog are probable during settled spells.
