The period begins settled, turning unsettled around Friday 9 October, then settled and milder during the second week.

Daytime highs in the low teens at first, below average for October, look set to ease back into the mid single figures later on, well below average. There are hints of temperatures reaching around 17°C later on, but the detail that far ahead is uncertain. A sharp drop in daytime temperatures looks likely towards the end of the period. Later in the period there are signs of lows near 1°C, though that far ahead the timing is uncertain. Sheltered and rural areas may see patchy frost during clearer nights.

Some of the model output hints at gusts near 41mph later on, though timing at that range is unreliable. There will be some wet spells, with rainfall totals near 38mm over the period. Colder interludes may bring a risk of sleet or snow.

These forecasts use interpolation to improve accuracy for your specific location, and are powered by either ECMWF or GFS model data depending on your selection. As with all weather forecasts, confidence decreases rapidly beyond 5 days ahead — treat the later dates as a heads-up about possible conditions rather than a firm prediction.
