Monday 5th October Good morning. For Monday, 5 October 2026, it’s a fairly mild autumn day across the UK, with many places seeing dry weather, some bright spells, and just a little patchy rain or drizzle here and there. The warmest conditions are likely across eastern England and parts of the south-east, where temperatures could reach around 21 or 22°C with some decent sunshine, especially through the morning. The Midlands should also do quite well, largely dry and pleasantly mild, with highs close to 20°C. Further west, the south-west of England looks mostly dry too, with lighter winds and temperatures around 18°C — not a bad day for being out and about, though it may feel a touch fresher near the coast. Across northern England, it will be mild but breezier, particularly towards the north-east and exposed coastal areas, where winds will be more noticeable. Much of the day stays dry, although parts of the north-west may see a spell of rain or drizzle during the afternoon before brighter skies return later on. Northern Ireland is looking rather cloudy at times, with a little light drizzle possible, but rainfall amounts should be small. Temperatures here will sit around 17°C, so still reasonably mild for early October. Overall, it’s a day of usable autumn weather for most: mild, often dry, and with some sunshine breaking through. Just keep a waterproof handy in the north-west and Northern Ireland, and expect a blustery feel in parts of northern England.
