A southwest then westerly flow will lead to well above average temperatures for most parts during the next 30 days. Amounts of rainfall will be above average in the northwest until mid month, with near average rainfall in the southeast. Above average rainfall is expected to affect England and Wales as well from mid month onwards. During the second half of the month the other feature is the wind, increasing to gale or severe gale force across many northern areas. The weather looks like quietening down at the end of October into November, especially across England and Wales. Temperatures are likely to stay above average, the rainfall dropping back to near average in most parts.
