Welcome to October! A new month but the same sort of weather for many areas with the unsettled spell continuing as low pressure slowly clears eastwards. This will then allow colder northerly winds to move down from the north later on today and tonight with a ridge of high pressure then bringing a brighter and colder midweek period for many.
For this morning and it's a dry start for many central and south-eastern regions of the UK with the overnight rain having cleared, however there is still a trailing band of rain extending across northern England, southernmost parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Towards the southwest, there are some heavy and thundery showers affecting parts of Ireland, Wales and southwest England, whilst for much of central and northern Scotland it is dry if rather chilly with just a few showers in the far north. The rain band across northern regions will only slowly move its way southwards today after the showers in the southwest have spread east across central and southern parts of England and Wales. These showers will be heavy with a risk of hail and thunder and could bring some torrential downpours in places, but will gradually become confined to south-eastern regions by the end of the afternoon. This will allow the brighter conditions in the north to spread down across much of Ireland, Northern Ireland, northern and western England along with parts of Wales before dusk. Temperatures today will range from 8°C to 12°C in the north and 13°C to 17°C in the south with
The showers across the southeast this evening will clear away and then for much of the country it will turn drier, clearer and colder with just a few showers affecting northern and eastern coastal regions. Temperatures will drop low enough for some frost in rural spots, but it will be less cold around windward coasts. Wednesday is then set to be a fine and dry day for most places with the showers in the north and east tending to become less frequent but despite the sunshine it will be colder than of late.
