For the many Remembrance Day gatherings today when we honour those who have fallen in war, the weather should be reasonable enough if typically November.
For the many Remembrance Day gatherings today when we honour those who have fallen in war, the weather should be reasonable enough if typically November. The morning remains relatively quiet before winds freshen into the afternoon bringing unsettled conditions from some later or after dark.
We still have an old, weak front straddling central and southern parts that's giving gloomy, misty, but very mild weather, with some fog that'll linger. It's also producing patchy light rain or drizzle that'll slowly move North through the day, after a bright start across parts of northern England. Another front over Scotland is also giving patchy light rain across central regions that'll pep-up through the day and move slowly North giving heavier bursts of rain later.
You may see some brightness over Northern Ireland, but generally, it'll be cloudy across the province, in a freshening southerly wind that'll eventually bring showery outbreaks. Elsewhere winds will be light this morning, before freshening from the South through the day. We have some stark temperature contrasts this morning, with a chilly start over parts of northern England. But further South temperatures have again remained in double figures Celsius overnight. As a result, parts of the South and South-East could reach 14 or 15C once more where you see any sunshine in an otherwise cloudy day for most, with 10 to 13 a more general figure.
As an active depression approaches Northern Ireland from the West, all parts see a southerly wind freshening after dark. There'll be gale-force gusts across the province and parts of western Scotland. The freshening wind will help lift some of the murk, but with all but the East and South East seeing rain or showers before morning. There'll be heavier bursts in the North and West, but any over East Anglia and the South-East should be light and patchy in a mild night when temperatures shouldn't fall below 7 to 11C.
After some patchy light rain, East Anglia and the South should be mainly dry tomorrow apart from the odd shower. But for most, it'll be quite blustery, with some rain or showers. The heaviest bursts will be in the North and North West, as a depression tracks across Scotland before ending up in the North Sea after dark.
A South East then North East wind over Scotland will give gales across Moray, Caithness and the Northern Isles, with a fresh South Westerly over England and Wales veering North West across Northern Ireland later. This'll make it feel chillier, especially in the South, but temperatures between 7 and 12C will still be close to the November normal.
There'll be showers after dark, especially in the East, in a chilly North West wind. But as the depression begins to 'fill', winds will be light generally. Skies will break in places to give a few clear intervals, but it shouldn't be an unduly cold night, with the lowest temperatures mainly in the range 4 to 9C.
