The first weekend of November will be dominated by low pressure as a deep system close to the southwest this morning slowly drifts its way east/north-eastwards and fills over the weekend. As a result many areas can expected to see showers or longer spells of rain, whilst the south will see a period of very strong winds.
To start with this morning that low is centred just off the coast of southwest Wales and is bringing showery outbreaks of heavy, squally rain to many southern and south-western regions with winds potentially gusting up to 75 MPH across exposed parts of the southwest. This wet, squally weather will continue to push eastwards across many central and southern counties of England and Wales today with English Channel coasts experiencing the strongest winds where severe gales are expected for a time. Meanwhile, outbreaks of rain will continue to affect western parts of Ireland along with central and northern parts of Scotland throughout much of today, only leaving parts of southern Scotland, northwest England and Northern Ireland with a mostly dry day and some sunny spells. Temperatures will be rather mild in the far south although it won’t feel mild with the strong winds and rain, but it will be rather chilly for many with highs in the range of 8°C to 11°C.
Showers or longer spells of rain will continue to circulate around that area of low pressure which will end up close to the northeast coast of England by dawn tomorrow. Over parts of Northern Ireland, northwest England, north Wales and the Midlands skies will tend to clear and as the winds ease so it will turn chilly with a risk of some mist and fog forming in places. Any mist and fog will clear tomorrow morning to leave a day of sunny spells and scattered showers for many areas, these most frequent towards north-eastern and south-western regions.
