A mild start with drizzle on the way

Derek Brockway

The clocks may have gone back but there's no sign yet of any really cold weather. It's mild again today with temperatures reaching 15 to 18 Celsius with a south-westerly wind. A cold front is moving southeast today bringing some heavy rain with it but this front will turn around and move back northwards again tomorrow as a warm front; so although it will turn clear and chilly in the north tonight, the mild weather will return and push the cold air away.

Forecast chart for Tuesday 28th October

Tomorrow northern counties will enjoy a clear, dry and bright morning with sunshine to show off the autumn colours. The south, however, will be grey and damp and during the day the rain and drizzle will spread its way slowly northwards with low cloud, mist and hill fog. It will also be cooler than today with highest temperatures ranging from 11 Celsius in Flintshire and 14 Celsius in Pembrokeshire.

On Thursday there'll be plenty of cloud with spots of drizzle but becoming dry and feeling mild with a south to south-westerly breeze. 

Much of Friday will be dry with some sunshine and very mild for the time of year. In fact temperatures will be close to or even beat the record for Halloween reaching 17 to 20 Celsius with a wind from the south bringing warm air to our shores from Spain and the Mediterranean.
