Met Office long range weather forecast (October 13 - 22)

According to the Met Office: “Heavy rain is expected to arrive into the southwest early on Friday, later spreading north-eastwards into central parts of the UK. Further north, a mixture of showers and sunny spells are likely, with the potential for strong blustery winds in places.

“Over the weekend, a general showery theme is expected to become more prevalent, with the best of any dry conditions likely to be in the southwest. Temperatures early in the period are expected to be close to normal for the time of year, though potentially milder in the south, at least initially.

“As the period progresses, a trend towards increasingly frequent spells of unsettled weather is probable, which could produce generally wetter than average conditions across the UK from around the middle of the month onwards.”
