Potential disruption

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Steven Keates, said: “Many parts of the UK will see a very unsettled spell of weather through the second half of the coming week, into next weekend. A number of areas have the potential to see a lot of rain as well as strong winds at times. Of particular concern at the moment is eastern and central Scotland where some exceptional rainfall totals could build up, falling on ground already saturated after recent heavy rainfall. This could lead to some significant and widespread disruption.

“With such an unsettled and potentially impactful spell of weather we recommend you stay up to date with the forecast for your area and keep an eye on warnings from the Met Office, SEPA and local authorities.”

Met Office long range weather forecast (October 20-29)

According to the Met Office: “The start of this period is likely to be very unsettled across much of the UK. Parts of northeast Britain in particular could see some further heavy, persistent rain, accompanied by strong to gale force winds.

“Further heavy rain and strong winds may also develop over or move into parts of southern Britain for a time, though this carries more limited confidence. The following week perhaps turning a little less unsettled, with the driest weather in the northeast and wettest conditions in the southwest, but rain and strong winds perhaps spreading to affect much of the UK at times.

“Temperatures will stay around average and probably oscillating between milder and colder spells throughout the forecast period.”
