Hello from hot and sunny Portugal…though it isn’t too bad at home with high pressure about to take control once more.

Thanks to Tracy for the photograph.

So Sunday sees Storm Amy move away with high pressure building in from the south-west.

Bright/sunny spells to start Sunday but quite a lot of cloud will bubble up with fairly limited sunshine from around lunchtime onwards. A 30% chance of catching a shower but they shouldn’t be heavy if you do catch one. Windy and around 16’C. Cloud thinning somewhat overnight, winds easing, down to around 9’C.

Monday will often be sunny, though there will be some areas of cloud floating around, more likely in the afternoon. Temperatures very reasonable for October, around 19’C. Quite cloudy overnight, around 11’C.

Tuesdsay looks mostly cloudy, though with some occasional bright/sunny spells, more likely later in the day. Around 17’C or so and a bit breezy. Mostly cloudy overnight, though some clear spells possible, down to around 10’C.

Wednesdsay sees a weak weather front crossing, quite a lot of cloud, some occasional light rain/drizzle. Some occasional sunny spells possible, more likely early/late in the day. Around 16’C. Clear skies overnight and cooler, down to around 6’C.

By Thursday we see high pressure centred to our west again, though it will move across the UK over the coming days.

Thursday starts sunny, probably more cloud in the afternoon, perhaps outright cloudy. Reaching around 16’C or so, maybe a tad more. Fairly cloudy overnight, perhaps a spot of drizzle, around 11’C.

Then for Friday, Saturday and probably Sunday too, it remains dry but uncertain on cloud amounts. More likely on the cloudy side of the spectrum, with some limited sunny spells – but too far away to be too confident on such details. Overnight fog possible. Temperatures broadly around 14’C to 17’C.

Still suggestions of something cooler for the week after, though drier conditions more likelty than wet. Perhaps more changeable towards the latter part of October.

Have a pleasant week, the next forecast will probably be on Thursday morning.
