The live forecast above shows a wet and windy day across the UK, with rain bands moving east through the morning. Temperatures range from 8°C in the north to 12°C in the south, around 2–3°C below the seasonal average for late October.

What is the outlook for the rest of the day?

Rain will persist over most regions into the afternoon, heaviest across Scotland, northern England and inland Wales. Southern and eastern counties may see drier spells by late afternoon, though patchy showers remain likely. Winds of 25–35 mph are expected, gusting to 45 mph on exposed coasts and hills.

How does today compare to the seasonal norm?

Today’s temperatures are 2–3°C cooler than the long‑term October mean for most of the UK. The low‑pressure system bringing this unsettled weather is typical for autumn, but the strength of the wind and the persistence of rain are slightly above average for the date.

Will the rain clear by evening?

Most rain moves east by late evening, leaving a mix of clear spells and isolated showers. Northern Scotland and western coasts may stay damp overnight with further light rain.

Should I take care on the roads today?

Yes – heavy rain and gusty winds reduce visibility and increase stopping distances. Drive with dipped headlights, leave extra gap and be alert for surface water and fallen leaves.

Is there any risk of flooding?

Localised surface water flooding is possible where rain is heaviest, especially in Scotland and north‑west England. Check flood warnings from the Met Office and avoid driving through standing water.
