After the recent unsettled weather, conditions across the UK are set to calm down noticeably. Met Office forecasts show high pressure becoming increasingly influential as October ends and November begins. The BBC says the start of November looks very settled, with no significant rain in the forecast.
How long will high pressure last
Forecasters note that there is strong agreement that high pressure will stay in control through the weekend and much of next week. According to the Met Office, the probability of this pattern is 91% on Monday 2 November and 75% on Tuesday 3 November. In some areas, pressure could reach around 1040 hPa on Tuesday.
High pressure is expected to remain the main influence on the weather until at least Friday 6 November. From Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 November, conditions should be mostly dry and settled.
Not completely dry everywhere
The Met Office stresses that this will not be one continuous dry spell. Weak weather fronts may cross the country, particularly the far north-west, bringing more cloud and a little light rain. A few light showers are possible in the east and south-east. Fog and low cloud may also develop locally and could be slow to clear.
Temperatures
Temperatures are expected to fall gradually over the next 10 days as a relatively stagnant air mass remains over the UK. Where the sun breaks through and winds stay light, it could feel pleasantly warm for early November.
What next
Indications for the first full weekend of November (7–8 November) point to a return to more changeable weather, but uncertainty is greater. The Met Office also says that, further ahead, above-average rainfall is more likely than below-average rainfall, although confidence in the forecast is low.
What this means for you
If you are travelling by car, be prepared for fog and reduced visibility, especially in the morning. In the north-west, light rain is still possible.
