00:00It's been a very wet September for England and Wales,

00:04whereas large parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland

00:06have been sunnier and drier than usual.

00:09And that sunnier and drier weather

00:11is going to become more widespread

00:13as we head into October.

00:14It doesn't look that promising to start with.

00:16This deep low is still bringing wet and windy conditions

00:20through Monday night and into Tuesday.

00:22There are more lows waiting in the wings.

00:24But actually, it's this high pressure

00:26which is going to squash its way down from the north

00:29to bring many of us much drier conditions later this week.

00:33But we start Tuesday still with some pretty heavy rain

00:35over parts of eastern England, staying pretty damp and cool

00:39on these North Sea coasts.

00:40Further outbreaks of rain coming in at times over the Midlands.

00:43Not as heavy, not as persistent as Monday's rain,

00:46but nevertheless, damp and chilly in eastern England.

00:49Much brighter skies further west,

00:51some sunshine for South Wales, southwest England,

00:53Northern Ireland, and much of Scotland

00:55having a fine day on Tuesday.

00:57With the breeze coming in from the east or the northeast,

00:59all of these eastern coasts will be fresh.

01:0215, 16 at best.

01:04Add on the rain and the wind, it'll

01:06feel much cooler than that.

01:07Top temperatures in the sunniest bells down further south

01:09and west, getting into the high teens perhaps.

01:12That wet weather, that low pressure system

01:14continues to only slowly ebb away.

01:17The high is moving in, but it's taking its time.

01:19The isobar is just squeezing together a little as well.

01:22So we'll keep that brisk wind blowing on Wednesday,

01:26providing some pretty cool conditions again

01:28along North Sea coast, and still providing showers.

01:31Across East Anglia, Kent, and even up the Thames estuary

01:34at times, there will be some showers moving in here.

01:37So it's not completely dry.

01:38The odd shower of the Midlands, northern England,

01:40but many places will have a dry day on Wednesday.

01:44There will still be that breeze bringing the chill

01:46to North Sea coast, but it could also

01:48turn quite gusty over parts of Wales and southwest England.

01:52Meanwhile, closer to the high pressure,

01:54the winds will be much lighter across Scotland and Northern

01:56Ireland, a fine day here once any morning mist and fog

02:00has cleared.

02:00Morning mist and fog could become more of an issue

02:03as we go towards the second half of the week

02:05as the high tends to drift further south.

02:07The isobar's opening up a touch, still a bit breezy

02:11around the coast of East Anglia and along the south coast

02:14of England.

02:14But for most, with lighter winds and those clearer skies,

02:18temperatures will tumble away.

02:20These are the values in towns and cities,

02:21but rural spots, certainly across northern Britain,

02:24likely to be below freezing to start Thursday.

02:27And as I mentioned, with the high pressure moving in,

02:29increasing chance of seeing some mist and fog.

02:31But that should clear away.

02:33Some cloud will bubble up.

02:34There may still be the odd shower

02:36across East Anglia and the southeast,

02:38but they'll be pretty light.

02:40For most places, it is a dry day on Thursday.

02:43Temperatures, again, a touch below the average

02:46for the time of year.

02:46Maybe getting into the high teens

02:48across the south with a little bit of sunshine,

02:50but we'll have lost that pretty cold wind

02:53on these eastern coasts.

02:55Now, as we go towards Friday, things

02:57will start to shift around.

02:59Low pressure systems out in the Atlantic

03:01just starting to nudge the high further and further eastwards.

03:05May introduce a little bit more cloud and some showery rain

03:08up towards the northwest on this weather front here,

03:11perhaps into Northern Ireland.

03:12But I suspect, again, most places

03:14will be dry on Friday and a fine and sunny day

03:17for much of England and Wales.

03:19And temperatures just ticking up a little.

03:21There will be a cold start on Friday across the south

03:24and east in particular, but temperatures generally

03:26starting to lift a little bit.

03:28And the bigger picture as we head into the weekend

03:30is actually low pressure will start to dominate,

03:33finally pushing away the high that

03:34will control most of our weather this week.

03:37The remnants of an ex-Hurricane Isaac

03:39getting sucked into this low pressure system.

03:41So quite interesting as we head towards the end of the week,

03:44but certainly that could bring some wet and windy conditions

03:47in from the Atlantic.

03:49As always, keep up to date with the latest forecasts.
