day 15 winds



High pressure continues to sit close to north-western Britain and Ireland keeping conditions very much on the quiet side. However, weak weather fronts are still getting caught up under the high, bringing a lot of cloud to many areas, and with light winds this cloud isn’t going anywhere fast.

Some drier and colder continental air fed into southeast England late yesterday, bringing clearer skies overnight, and a rather chilly start to today. This is where the best of any sunshine is likely to be during today, with most other areas seeing a lot of cloud once again. The cloud will be thick enough to bring some mainly light rain to central, northern and western areas, whilst temperatures in most areas will be close to normal for mid-October.

Its still looking promising for a change to much sunnier conditions to spread south during tomorrow as a cold front bringing no more than a little light rain clears through, although it will be late in the day before the clearer weather reaches parts of southern England. The downside of the sunnier weather will be the clearer skies allowing temperatures to fall sharply overnight, with a widespread ground frost expected by Saturday morning in many areas as well as some patchy fog.

Looking ahead to the weekend, and Saturday is looking fine and dry for many, but by the time we get to Sunday some rain could arrive in the northwest as the high begins to weaken and slip away, heralding potentially changeable conditions for next week.
