UK Outlook for Saturday 26 Sep 2009 to Monday 5 Oct 2009:

The high pressure that brought a good deal of settled weather to the UK looks like declining through the weekend with the weather becoming more unsettled across northern and western parts. But for many the weekend looks like remaining dry with some pleasant sunshine, though could be chilly by night with some fog patches. This unsettled weather is expected to spread to all but the extreme south by Monday. This bringing outbreaks of rain and noticeably colder conditions, especially so the in strong northwesterly wind. The unsettled weather looks like being maintained across the north, whereas some parts of the south could well stay generally dry through this period. Temperature wise, overall near normal, though parts of the north especially, could be rather cool at times.

UK Outlook for Monday 28 Sep 2009 to Wednesday 7 Oct 2009:

Unsettled weather is expected to spread south during Monday. This bringing outbreaks of rain and noticeably colder conditions, especially so given the strong northwesterly wind. The unsettled weather looks like being maintained across the north, whereas some parts of the south should stay generally dry through this period. Temperature wise, overall near normal, though parts of the north especially, could be rather cool at times. Over the second weekend there is a tendency for a more cyclonic pattern to becoming established. Rain or showers likely to affect most parts, heaviest in the north with an increasing risk of strong winds or gales. The best of any brighter weather most likely in the far south and southwest. Temperatures near normal in the south, but rather cold at times in the north.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 29 Sep 2009 to Thursday 8 Oct 2009:

Many parts are expected to be cloudy on Tuesday but it should be mainly dry, with only isolated outbreaks of rain or drizzle. It is likely to become unsettled over the second half of the week, with showers and rain spreading from the north to affect many parts by the weekend. This unsettled weather is expected to continue during the following week, with further showers or rain possible anywhere but likely to be heaviest and most persistent in the north and west, where it will also be windy at times. The best of any dry, bright weather likely in the southeast. Temperatures will be around normal initially, but become cooler over time, with some places becoming rather cold at times by the end of the period.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Sep 2009 to Friday 9 Oct 2009:

At first we can expect southern and southwestern areas to be mainly dry with some sunshine at times. Some overnight fog patches are likely to form here, although these will disperse during the mornings. Northern and northeastern parts are likely to remain more unsettled with occasional rain or drizzle, especially across Scotland, although it may become brighter in the far northeast with scattered showers. Temperatures should be generally close to average, although it may remain locally rather warm in the southeast. Then from the weekend onwards we are currently expecting unsettled conditions to spread to all areas. Thus we can expect either showers or more persistent rain for most areas at times, with temperatures a little below normal and the potential for occasionally strong to gale force winds.

It will be a windy weekend with a risk of gales in the north. Temperatures will be near normal in the south, but rather cold in the north, with a risk of frost. All parts are likely to become unsettled through next week with occasional showers or longer spells of rain.

The less settled spell is well and truly here with wind and rain on Tuesday, sunshine and blustery showers on Wednesday. It will be windy in the north and east at first, gradually easing.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 7 Oct 2009 to Friday 16 Oct 2009:

The period will start on quite an unsettled note with rain or showers in many parts and perhaps some strong winds in the south at first. On the first Friday and over the weekend southern parts are expected to have a drier and more settled interlude with some sunshine but with temperatures near or rather below the average for the time of year and with some overnight frosts. Unsettled conditions are likely to persist in northern areas however, with the heaviest rain in the northwest. There is no clear signal at present for conditions into the next week, the most probable is for northern and western areas to see most of the rain and windier conditions with drier and brighter conditions in the south and with near average temperatures generally.

UK Outlook for Sunday 11 Oct 2009 to Tuesday 20 Oct 2009:

The south of England should be mainly dry on Sunday and Monday with perhaps some sunshine. Elsewhere though it will be cloudier with rain at times. Temperatures should be near average. The middle part of next week will become unsettled and windy at times, with rain or showers, but also some drier and brighter spells. The showers are likely to be heaviest and most persistent in the north and west, and perhaps wintry at times over Scottish mountains. The south and east is expected to have the best of the dry and brighter interludes. Temperatures should remain near average. The further outlook will continue much the same with further showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed by some dry and brighter interludes. Temperatures should remain near normal.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 13 Oct 2009 to Thursday 22 Oct 2009:

High pressure will cover much of the UK Tuesday and Wednesday, with sunny spells for much of the south after overnight mist or fog clears. Cloudier conditions are expected in the north, with rain in places, locally heavy over western hills. From Thursday to Saturday this regime is likely to persist, with the south mainly dry, apart from light rain or drizzle on some western coasts and hills and with sunny spells after the clearance of overnight mist or fog. The north is expected to continue unsettled with rain at times and with a risk of gales in the far northwest. Temperatures will be around the seasonal average, although with some chilly nights in the south. Beyond Saturday the 17th the unsettled conditions in the north may extend further south.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 14 Oct 2009 to Friday 23 Oct 2009:

High pressure will continue to cover much of the UK through most of this period. This will bring sunny spells in the south, after the slow clearance of overnight mist or fog. More unsettled conditions are expected in the north, with rain in places, locally heavy over northwestern hills. This regime is likely to persist, the south mainly dry, apart from drizzle on some western coasts and hills, with sunny spells after the slow clearance of overnight mist or fog. The north is expected to continue unsettled, with rain at times, and occasionally windy. Temperatures will be around the seasonal average, although with chilly nights in the south. Late in the period there are indications that the more unsettled conditions in the north may slowly extend southwards.

UK Outlook for Thursday 15 Oct 2009 to Saturday 24 Oct 2009:

Up to and including the first weekend conditions are likely to be settled across the bulk of the United Kingdom. We can therefore expect dry conditions with variable cloud, but with a risk of fog patches during the overnight and morning periods. The temperature may become chilly during the nights and mornings, with a risk of ground frost in places, although it is expected to recover during the afternoons in any sunshine. Exceptions to these dry conditions are likely to be the far north and northwest of Scotland and possibly also the far east of England, where there may be a little rain or drizzle at times. Then during the second week unsettled weather with rain or showers and strong winds is expected to gradually extend southeastwards to all areas.

UK Outlook for Saturday 17 Oct 2009 to Monday 26 Oct 2009:

Most parts should have a fine weekend with sunny spells. However, it will be chilly overnight, with patchy mist and fog forming. The far northwest should be cloudier and windier with outbreaks of rain. Temperatures should generally by near normal. Outbreaks of rain in the northwest are expected to spread southeastwards across all parts during the first part of next week. The rain could be heavy at times, especially in the north and west, although the south and east should still have some good drier and brighter interludes. Temperatures should remain near average. The further outlook will continue much the same with further showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed by some dry and bright interludes. Again the best and the drier and brighter conditions should be in the southeast.

Most parts should start Sunday dry with sunny spells after the clearance of overnight patchy fog. However, cloud and outbreaks of rain in the northwest, will gradually spread southwards across all parts, except the far southwest later on Sunday and during Monday. After a chilly start in the south and east on Sunday, temperatures will be near average. The rest of next week and the start of the following week should continue unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed by some dry and brighter interludes. The rain will be heaviest and most persistent in the north and west, where it will also be windy at times. The best of the dry and brighter weather occurring in the south and east. Temperatures should be near normal in all parts.

UK Outlook for Monday 19 Oct 2009 to Wednesday 28 Oct 2009:

Many places are expected to be dry with sunny periods on Monday and Tuesday, although there is a chance of rain over some western parts of England and Wales and possibly showers in northern Scotland and southern England. From the middle of the week the weather is likely to become more unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain in the north and west at first, spreading to affect most parts by next weekend. It stays unsettled into the last week of October with further rain or showers, and it may become windy at times, especially in the northwest. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal for the time of year throughout the period, although they may be below normal in the southeast at first, with some chilly nights.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 20 Oct 2009 to Thursday 29 Oct 2009:

Tuesday looks like it will be a wet and windy day with strong southerly winds developing, and outbreaks of heavy rain spreading eastwards. The heaviest of the rain will be in the west, with some drier, brighter periods in the east. Temperatures near or slightly above normal. Becoming more showery and brighter on Wednesday, but still breezy. The latter part of the week will continue unsettled with periods of rain or showers, and quite windy at times. Temperatures generally on the mild side with some brighter periods. In the further outlook period for the following week it looks as though it will continue unsettled with periods of rain or showers and generally mild southwesterly winds, although feeling cool in periods of wind and rain.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 21 Oct 2009 to Friday 30 Oct 2009:

The weather type will start cyclonic, mild and mainly southwesterly, although tending to become a little less mild through the period as the flow becomes southeasterly later. There will be sunshine and showers on Wednesday, and it will still be very breezy. The latter part of the week will be unsettled with further periods of rain or showers, especially in the west and northwest, and remaining windy at times. Later, there are signs of high pressure returning near eastern areas, where some drier, less unsettled, and less windy spells are likely later in the month. Temperatures, generally on the mild side at the start of the period, will tend towards near normal, although cold enough to bring some snow to Scottish mountains at times.

UK Outlook for Saturday 24 Oct 2009 to Monday 2 Nov 2009:

On Saturday, wet and windy weather will spread northeastwards across southern and central parts of the United Kingdom, while it's likely to stay mainly dry and bright across much of northern Britain. By Sunday, the wettest weather is expected to be across Northern Ireland and northern Britain, with bright but showery weather affecting England and Wales. The unsettled, changeable theme looks set to continue for the rest of the period, with spells of wet and windy weather interspersed by brighter, showery conditions. The rain generally most frequent and heaviest in the west, where there is likely to be gales at times. Generally mild throughout the period, with any frost mainly limited to the north during any clearer nights.

UK Outlook for Sunday 25 Oct 2009 to Tuesday 3 Nov 2009:

Sunday is expected to be an unsettled day with scattered, occasionally heavy showers and sometimes gusty winds. However, the end of the day should turn drier and brighter in eastern areas of England and Wales, although showers continuing over northwestern areas and Scotland. Then largely dry overnight in most areas apart from Scotland. Further rain is expected to spread to western areas later on Monday with the east drier and brighter. Tuesday through to Friday looks like it will continue with the east-west split with heavy rain or showers and strong southerly winds in the west with the east remaining drier and clearer with possible overnight mist and fog problems. For the weekend and early part of next week it looks as though it will continue in a similar pattern.
