Wettest and windiest for those further northwest during the upcoming week. Further southeast, dry often sunny and increasingly warm.
Across the country, Sunday has dawned a very different day to Saturday. Yesterday, much of England and Wales was grey and wet, this morning, it's dry and bright but chilly, have you turned your heating on yet?
For Scotland and Northern Ireland, it's the opposite. After a lot of fine weather on Saturday, rain and strong winds have arrived overnight, especially into the north and west, where a Met Office weather warning has been issued. The winds are gusting to gale force, but it's the rain which is the concern, which is going be almost non-stop right through to the end of Tuesday, bringing some significant falls across the west and north of Scotland especially.
As you can see from the rain total map above, there's very little rain for England and Wales forecast over the next few days. That's because we're back to a similar setup to last week, with high pressure close to the south, but low pressure further north. With winds swinging back into a more southerly direction, we're also going to see warm temperatures making a comeback, after their brief break this weekend.
That'll mean highs, which will not get much higher than the low-mid teens today, will head into the high-teens in the south tomorrow, then the high-teens or low-twenties widely from Tuesday onward.
So, today, Monday and Tuesday can be put into the same box - windy and wet in the north, especially the northwest of Scotland. Drier, sunnier and increasingly warm further south and east. Then Wednesday looks set to give the wetter areas a break, with much of the country dry, bright and very mild for the time of the year - there is the threat of some thundery showers moving up from the south though.
Then into the second half of the week, we head right back to the familiar north vs south pattern. The Jet Stream is set to fire some deep, active low pressure systems up from the southwest to bring some very wet, very windy weather to western and northern Britain, along with Ireland and Northern Ireland.
All the while though, those further southeast remain sheltered as high pressure to the east of the UK deflects the lows further north. The unseasonably mild temperatures continue too, and by the weekend could be pushing into the mid, maybe even high twenties in places - exceptional for mid-October.
That's a long way off though, so we'll have to keep an eye on developments through the week to see how the weekend pans out. All in all, a lively, wet, windy week on the way for those further north and west, whereas for those further south and east the weather headlines will be more about sunshine and summer-like temperatures.
