The outlook for Wednesday to Friday says: "Still a few showers on Wednesday, but some sunny spells too. Largely dry and bright on Thursday and Friday. Some overnight frost and patchy fog possible."

Forecaster Louise Lear said: "A change in the month, brings with it a change in the weather.

"We are going to start the week with sunny spells and scattered showers, but by the middle of the week it gets noticeably quieter, cool for all of us by day, and some fog and frost overnight.

"As we go through the week high pressure is going to build in which quietens things down.

"There will be a colder wind direction coming from the north and you will notice the difference to a feel in the weather if you are out and about this week.

"By Thursday, the high pressure will have built in, the winds will have eased and we will see a good deal of quiet weather that is going to kill off the showers.

"There is a good chance of seeing a little bit more in the way of sunshine, but temperatures are going to struggle."

The Met Office UK long-range forecast for November says that overall it will remain "drier than average."

The forecast for November 5 to Sunday, November 14 says: "An unsettled and changeable start to this period with typically autumnal conditions dominating the weather. Wettest and windiest conditions expected in the north and west over the weekend with bands of heavy rain and showers and a risk of gales.

"Drier interludes to follow these showers. There is a risk of this rain being impactful, however it will most likely be less so than of late.

"Driest conditions most likely in the southeast where any bands of rain will be weaker than those seen elsewhere.

"Occasionally windy throughout with the strongest winds expected in the northwest but becoming less windy by the end of the period. Temperatures will be around average with some milder interludes however, some brief colder spells are still possible, especially in the south."

The forecast for the end of the month says: "Temperatures set to be slightly below average overall throughout this period with an increased likelihood of wintry showers from the north and northwest at times.

"Little evidence to suggest any prolonged widespread settled conditions as often areas of cloud, rain and showers will be around. Any clear spells that do occur give way to frost and fog as expected for the time of year. Overall remaining drier than average."
