Largely dry yet chilly this weekend but with some pesky showers about. Unsettled, however, next week.

Cool weather continues for the rest of this week and into the weekend. Largely dry but with pesky showers being pulled in on that northeasterly wind. Unsettled to start the new week as low pressure dominates. Expect rain, heavy at times, and strengthened winds. Less cold in the south but staying cold in the north.

Sunday 18/10/20
It will be a rather cloudy day for many with best of any sunshine across Ireland and Wales as high pressure still remains in charge. Largely dry but the risk of a few scattered showers over the hills of northern England and Scotland. There is even the chance for fog and mist patches to linger over parts of central and southern England under those slack winds. Patchy outbreaks of rain expected to move in across north and northwest Scotland by the end of the day. Highs at 9 to 13C.
