Headline:

Afternoon highs well down from yesterday, even below the seasonal early autumn averages. Occasional bright spells on a mainly dry morning. Cloud thickening through afternoon, bringing patchy rain to all except eastern areas north of Inverness by early evening. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Rain soon extending from west to all from mid-evening, with outbreaks heavy at times, particularly across the west and north. Also strengthening winds and the chance of gales by dawn. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Tuesday:

A windy, showery, day with risk of gales at first. Outbreaks frequent, occasionally heavy and in the north during the morning, merging to longer periods of rain at times. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wednesday cool and windy with heavy, frequent showers. Winds easing and turning drier through Thursday. Rain later Friday.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
