AFTER A lengthy settled spell some autumnal conditions returned earlier this week but as we enter this forecast period, high pressure again slips over the UK and takes charge.
However, there could be a sudden change as ex-hurricane Joaquin will be racing across the Atlantic towards the UK. At this moment, the deep area of low pressure is likely to dart towards France but this is still not 100%.
After a muggy few days it’s now cooler and fresher and this will be felt on Thursday with a chilly start. A reasonable day follows with sunny spells and dry. Max 14°C.
The nice weather continues on Friday with it being dry with plenty of sunny spells. Light winds so not feeling too bad. Max 15°C.
Mainly dry weather over the weekend but cloud amounts will be variable and a cool breeze will pick up.
Saturday will be bright after a cold start with some mist or fog patches slow to clear. Feeling fresh in the afternoon breeze. Showers or rain could sneak in from the east overnight. Max 13°C.
Sunday bright spells and remaining dry after some early showers and cloud clear. Again a cool breeze. Max 14°C.
Looking ahead it seems the high pressure will stay close-by, keeping it mainly dry with bright spells.
