Monday 20th October Hello there, and a very good morning to you all on this autumnal Monday, the 20th of October. We're right in the heart of autumn now, and today's weather reflects that with a bit of a mixed bag across the nation. Starting off in the south-east, a damp morning awaits with some early showers coming through. Temperatures might reach around 15 to 16 degrees, but you'll want to have your brollies handy as those early morning rains could catch you out. Moving over to the south-west, specifically in areas toward the coast, we're experiencing similar conditions with rain sticking around through the early morning hours. The wind picks up in these parts as well, adding a bit of a blustery feel to the day. Temperatures here hover around the mid-teens as well. In the Midlands and northern England, it's a tale of two halves. Parts of these areas might escape the rain altogether, seeing dry conditions and some bright spells. It’ll be a touch warmer with highs around 15 degrees. Perfect for a little stroll in the crisp autumn air if you time it with the clearer spells. Up in Scotland, particularly central Scotland, the rain made an appearance overnight, but thankfully it's expected to clear later on. A chill in the air with highs of about 14 degrees makes for a classic autumn day. Northern Ireland starts off reasonably pleasant, but keep an eye on the skies by mid-afternoon as some showers might pop up. However, later in the day, the sunshine should make a welcome reappearance, bringing a pleasant end to the day. Lastly, over to Wales, expect some morning showers too but these are likely to ease as we move further along the day. With the wind in play, it'll feel quite autumnal, so light layers might be your best bet to stay comfortable. Travel might be slightly disrupted with wet roads, especially in coastal and southern areas. Always a good idea to check ahead as you make plans for the day. That's how it looks for the day ahead. Whatever the weather has in store for you, I hope it’s a pleasant day all around. Take care, and enjoy your Monday!
