The next few days will bring some October warmth to the southern half of the UK, with temperatures possibly reaching 21°C locally. However, it is expected to turn cooler during the second half of the week as high pressure becomes dominant.

Patchy spells of rain

Patchy outbreaks of rain push eastwards across the UK through the day. The rain will generally be light, although more persistent and heavier spells push into Northern Ireland during the afternoon. Elsewhere, it remains fine with sunny spells.

Temperatures range from 10°C in the far north to 18°C in the south. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.

Wednesday: Outbreaks of rain push into the north west, while other areas have a mostly dry day. Very windy in the north and west. Warm for mid October in southern, central and eastern areas.

Outlook: Changeable. A band of rain slowly pushes southeastwards. Ahead of it, temperatures will be well above the norm, but in the north it turns a good deal cooler. Once the rain cleas southwards temperatures dip in all areas, but it should be mostly dry. The risk of patchy frost and fog increases.
