Planning Outlook
High pressure continues to reside over the country into the new week maintaining quiet weather. Varied low cloud and morning fog. Inversion conditions likely to remain over higher mountains for several days, then during midweek this may start to weaken as pressure begins to fall gradually. Light winds overall, an easterly breeze likely for Wales early-midweek. Uncertainty about the weather pattern development toward next weekend, some indication of strengthening south-southwesterly winds bringing some rain, but may not reach all areas. Later October has hints of chillier northerly air, especially in Scotland.
