The week begins with south-westerly winds and mild air across the UK.
In southern England, the Midlands and East Anglia, any early mist and fog should lift to leave a mostly dry day with sunny spells.
However Wales and northern England will see rather cloudy conditions and some outbreaks of mostly light and patchy rain.
A weather front will bring outbreaks of rain south-eastwards across Scotland and Northern Ireland with sunnier conditions following into northern Scotland – although here it will be windy, with possible gusts of 50-60mph (80-100km/h) across the Northern Isles.
Maximum temperatures will reach 14-19C in much of Northern Ireland and Scotland, a few degrees above the seasonal norm in many locations.
Meanwhile, forecast highs of 18-23C in England and Wales are closer to typical August temperatures than the values that would be expected in early October.
