At first, most parts of the UK will be warm and dry with sunny spells. Eastern coasts may see some more persistent cloud at times and a stiff easterly breeze is likely in the south. Through the weekend, similar conditions will prevail in the north of the UK, while southern parts see an increasing chance of showers, some of which could be heavy or thundery. Into next week, while the threat of showers remains in the south, high pressure may well become re-established from the north with settled conditions becoming more prevalent once again, albeit cooler than at the beginning of the period. Towards the end of September, however, there are increasing signals for a return to more changeable conditions with wind and rain spreading from the west.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types at the end of September and during early October. Periods of wet, unsettled weather will likely be broken up by some spells of more settled, drier weather. Overall, the wettest conditions will probably be in the west with the east drier. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average.
