Scattered heavy showers this evening and overnight, mostly in Lancashire and Cumbria, but a few possible in the south. Generally mild with some cloud cover, mostly in the south but turning chilly under any clear breaks in Cumbria. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Wednesday:

A changeable day with bright spells and scattered showers, these locally heavy and most likely across Cumbria and near to the Irish Sea coast. Not as breezy as recently. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Turning more unsettled, though a little milder. Wet and windy at times with periods of heavy rain or showers and the chance of gales. Occasional drier spells with some sunshine.

The changeable and at times unsettled weather is likely to continue through early November, with low pressure dominating the UK. This means further showers or longer spells of rain at times. All parts could see some heavy rain, but it is likely that western areas will be wettest. Strong winds are likely from time to time, with gales or severe gales a possibility. Equally there should also be some, at least brief, drier or clearer interludes, these more prevalent further east, but perhaps becoming a little more widespread and long-lasting by the end of the period. With winds predominantly blowing from a westerly or southwesterly quadrant, above average temperatures are most likely, with a reduced incidence of overnight frost and fog, compared to normal, especially at first.

A gradual transition from an unsettled westerly type to something less unsettled is anticipated through the middle part of the month. With time, greater incidences of high pressure look set to affect the UK, bringing more in the way of dry weather, but also increasing the chances of overnight fog and frost. By later in the month, the majority of any wet and windy weather is more likely to affect areas further to the north. Overall, temperatures look to pan out near to a little above average.
