UK Met UKV, Saturday 5th October [Tap animation to toggle cities]

Tonight showery spells of rain push across Northern Ireland and south western Britain. By the morning they could reach central areas, but in the north and east it remains dry.

Tomorrow patchy outbreaks of rain push northwards across the UK. Drier conditions follow, but through the afternoon an area of heavy rain moves up from the southwest. By the late afternoon it is likely to be affecting much of Wales and southern England. Temperatures similar to today's.

Possibly very windy next week

The next few days bring mixed weather. Showers or longer spells of rain are possible in all regions, but there should be dry and bright periods too. A southwesterly flow means temperatures will be higher than recently.

Through the middle part of next week deep areas of low pressure push in from the Atlantic. Wednesday needs watching closely because there is the potential for stormy conditions to develop in the southern half of the UK. However, at this stage it is a minority of computer model runs that are showing severe conditions. In the north it is expected to be turning colder.
