By Thursday high pressure centred over the continent will be ridging westwards and blocking the flow of Atlantic disturbances. That leaves the UK under a warm southerly air stream. The north west has further outbreaks of rain but elsewhere it is expected to be dry and sunny. Virtually the whole of the country has a dry Friday and temperatures in southern and central regions could reach 18C (64F).
By the weekend high pressure begins to build northwards. That allows cooler air to slowly begin filtering in from the southeast. On Saturday it remains mild but by Sunday temperatures become closer to the November average.
Next week it is expected to turn colder as an easterly flow develops. It is still early in the season so there isn't a lot of cold air over the continent, nonetheless there is a chance of showers in south eastern areas turning wintry later on.
