Summary Mild, wet and windy start to autumn Given the state of my lawn at the start of September and its condition by the end of the month, I could be forgiven for thinking that it had done nothing but rain the whole month. As the statistics show, September was as close to an 'average' month as one could be given its place at a time of change in the climatic year. Mean temperatures were just above the long-term average but there was only a degree or so in it. There was greater variation with regard to the rainfall averages, although even here, England and Wales were close to the seasonal mark. Northern Ireland saw over 40 per cent more rainfall and Scotland around 30 per cent more than the norm. In something of a turn around, Scotland was nearly 20 per cent up on sunshine amounts and Northern Ireland some 10 per cent. England and Wales were very close to the long-term average. Monday 4 October 2010 to Sunday 10 October 2010 More unsettled weather across the British Isles Low pressure, lying to the northwest of Ireland, will continue to push a series of active fronts across many areas. On a positive note, temperatures, both by day and night, will be above or even well above the seasonal average. The predominant wind direction for the period, south to southwesterly, will be responsible for this temperature profile. It certainly won't be the sunshine amounts. Rainfall, however, will feature through the week, especially so in central and eastern areas of England. Monday 11 October 2010 to Sunday 17 October 2010 Some signs of settled weather as pressure builds Yet more unsettled weather at the start of the week but there are some signs that pressure may build from the east to give a more settle look. As pressure rises, so rainfall amounts will fall close to the average, especially in the east of Britain, where it will become dry but rather cloudy. Sunshine amounts won't be that high and temperatures will trend towards the seasonal norm, ending the relatively mild spell. Monday 18 October 2010 to Sunday 31 October 2010 The high pressure retreats so back comes the rain Low pressure will come dominate all parts of the British Isles as high pressure over the continent retreats eastward. Temperatures will be only average by day but it appears unlikely that frost will be a widespread problem through the period. As fronts make progress into northern and western areas, so rainfall totals here will climb to just above average levels. Next week Any signs of an Indian Summer?

UK Outlook for Saturday 9 Oct 2010 to Monday 18 Oct 2010: More settled and mainly dry weather with some bright and sunny spells looks to make inroads into the country from the north and east during the weekend, with wetter conditions more likely towards the southwest of the UK. Strong winds and gales are possible for a time towards the southwest; particularly around exposed coasts and in upland areas. Winds remain fresh into the following week in many parts, though falling lighter inland overnight. Towards the end of the second week there is a gradual trend towards a return more unsettled conditions, with rain a greater likelihood across the UK. Daytime temperatures start a little above normal, with mild nights following, but temperatures as a whole tend towards more usual values around the midweek period with an increased risk of frost.

Probabilities of snow falling on Christmas Day North of Yorkshire / Lancashire: 35% - 45% (risk increases to 45% further north) South of Yorkshire / Lancashire: 20% - 30% (risk increases to 30% further north) Forecast issued Update 1, 01/09/2010 Update 2, 06/09/2010 Update 3, 20/09/2010 Update 4, 03/10/2010 http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twoforecasts/Christmas%202010%20weather%20forecast.aspx
