UK temperatures to plummet next week - Met Office
Starting from Friday, October 11, the Met Office shares that a "colder interlude" across all of the UK will be caused by wind that pushes showers to the south.
The Met Office shares: " Perhaps a more organised spell of rain and stronger winds across Scotland especially as we head into the weekend, meanwhile southern areas are likely to see much drier conditions than of late with some sunshine by day.
"Temperatures below average, especially in the north with some overnight frost possible along with some patchy mist and fog.
"Later in the weekend likely to turn more unsettled once more with outbreaks of rain and some stronger winds expected to return to the northwest of the UK especially, although the southeast may well hang on to drier conditions throughout."
Following a cooler weekend, the Met Office long-range forecast for October 21 to November 4 suggests that a "continuation of low-pressure systems tracking in from the Atlantic is the most likely scenario for the rest of October."

The weather forecasters add that it will likely mean "wet and windy weather at times, especially across England and Wales, but with a suggestion that Scotland and Northern Ireland may be more likely to see longer breaks in the weather and more in the way of drier spells."
Towards the end of October, the Met Office hints that drier conditions could see overnight fog and frost.
In terms of temperatures, there is a chance that they will be "close to average overall in the south, but probably below average in the north and northwest."

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
