High pressure is currently dominating the UK weather but how long will stick around? How warm will it be? Find out all the details in our latest weather outlook for how Halloween will look and the first days of November.
High pressure is currently in charge meaning conditions are relatively settled across the UK with gentle to light winds and just the odd shower. In the far north, it is currently breezier where the highest risk of showers will be today on Wednesday.
Despite the generally settled conditions, low cloud and mist patches will struggle to clear in some locations leaving little in the way of brightness. This is often the case in autumn and winter when high pressure is affecting the UK since moisture gets trapped in the lower levels of the atmosphere.
Cloud will linger for most overnight with possibly a few spots of light rain or drizzle. Central and southern parts will see the best of any clear spells though some mist and fog patches may develop here by dawn. Temperatures will generally not drop much below 10 °C, excluding some rural parts where lows of 6–7 °C are possible.
Thursday weather
Winds will strengthen in the north through the course of Thursday with some light rain or drizzle possible at times. Further south, winds are going to be generally gentle or light and it is going to remain largely dry. Cloud cover will be variable with occasional breaks in the cloud giving way to some bright or sunny spells.
Despite November only being one day away, temperatures will be fairly mild with daytime highs between 13–16 °C. Like on Wednesday temperatures will not drop down too low overnight.
First days of November
Friday, the first day of November, will see similar conditions as Thursday with high pressure sticking around for another day. A fair deal of cloud is forecast with only limited periods of brightness and a few spots of light rain or drizzle cannot be ruled out.
Overnight temperatures look to be a bit colder over the weekend but daytime highs will remain in the double digits for all regions with some also reaching the mid teens.
Looking ahead into next week, there are signs of high pressure drifting away from the UK. However, there are no signs of a deep area of low pressure affecting the UK which would bring windier conditions as well as persistent and heavy spells of rain.
