Cloud and rain at first, clearing south through the morning. Then turning colder with clear or sunny spells and showers, wintry on hills. Strong northerly winds, coastal gales at times. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Cold and mainly dry with sunny or clear spells Thursday, the odd shower possible. Showers or longer spells of rain Friday and Saturday, drier in the east. Overnight frosts.

Remaining rather cold, cold in the north, but with areas of blustery showers likely spreading across much of the country with some more wintry spells over the mountains of Scotland on Saturday. Later in the weekend a more settled spell for a time is expected, along with early mist or fog, before increasing cloud and rain from the west marks a return to average temperatures, potentially rather warm at times in the south, however the new week also bringing longer spells of cloud and rain. Windiest in the northwest, generally light to moderate otherwise. Some bright spells for most as systems clear but the best of the bright weather to be found in the southeast, though even here rain likely at times through the week as fronts cross.

Initially some remains of a more progressive weather pattern with fronts moving in from the west or northwest, with drier conditions in the south and east. It is possible that these drier conditions could be seen more widely later in the month as higher pressure further north extends southwards. This would also bring an increased chance of overnight fog and frost. Temperatures will tend to be close to average overall in the south, but probably below average in the north and northwest. Toward November returning Atlantic fronts more likely again, but some signs of more settled weather remaining in the south.
