Colder, wet at first then drier for a time

Temperatures are going to be turning much colder through this weekend as northerly winds arrive. After wet weather at the end of the week, higher pressure should be building allowing for drier conditions. It is likely to be cold throughout next week, perhaps turning wetter for a time later.

Sunday 27/10/19
High pressure builds west of Ireland on Sunday. Despite it being cold many places should be bright and dry with good spells of sunshine. For northern Scotland there will be some showers, these wintry on hills in Scotland. The best sunshine and driest weather over central areas. Highs at 7 to 11C.

Monday 28/10/19
High pressure to the west of Scotland on Monday. A cold day in a northeast wind. Mostly dry with good spells of sunshine, the best in the west. Isolated showers affecting eastern coasts. More cloud in southwest England with the risk of some rain here. High temperatures at 5 to 10C.
 

Tuesday 29/10/19
Lower pressure to the southwest may bring some rain in southern Ireland and southwest England on Tuesday, breezy here too. Higher pressure remains west of Scotland, but broken cloud may affect northern and eastern areas. The best of any brightness or sunshine in the west. Highs ranging from 6 to 10C.
 

Wednesday 30/10/19
There is low confidence in the forecast for Wednesday but it does seem that an area of rain may develop over the southwest UK and Ireland. There is uncertainty in how much rain may fall, but it could be wet and windy for a time. Drier in northern Scotland. Highs at 6 to 10C.

Thursday 31/10/19
Low confidence again in the forecast for Thursday. At this time it looks as though high pressure may build briefly across the country once again. A mostly dry day with the best of any sunshine to the north. Cold for all with highs at 5 to 8C.

Friday 01/11/19
Again, confidence is low but an area of low pressure could develop to the east bringing outbreaks of rain to central and eastern parts of Scotland and England. Breezy here too. Drier to the west. High temperatures at 6 to 8C.
