The day will be overcast for many parts of the UK, with cloud being particularly low in the west of the country where persistent spells of rain and drizzle are expected. As the afternoon progresses the rain bands will move south-eastwards and become less intense but the skies will still remain cloudy. In the evening it will be a similar story with cloud cover for most of the country and the occasional spell of rain. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the afternoon of 28/10/24.

00:00Hi there. A lot of cloud around as we start the new week. Certainly a contrast for many
00:06of us compared with Sunday's weather. This is the satellite and radar from the start
00:10of Sunday. Extensive sunshine for England, Wales, East and Scotland. But through Sunday
00:14outbreaks of rain and cloud pushed south-eastwards and that meant that by Monday morning we've
00:21got these spells of increasingly light and patchy rain spreading south-eastwards across
00:28the country and cloud cover for most of us. That cloud will be low across western areas
00:33so some hill fog and mist and some persistent drizzle over western hills whilst these other
00:39bands of rain increasingly weaken as they push south-eastwards. But just about anyone
00:44could see a few spots of rain during the rest of Monday and with the cloud cover as well
00:49and this Atlantic airflow is going to be mild, 15 to in some places 17 or even 18 Celsius.
00:57Then because we keep the cloud overnight it is going to be a mild night. There will
01:01be a few breaks in the cloud, somewhat random where these occur across southern parts of
01:07the UK. More reliably, eastern Scotland, north-east England seeing some breaks as the cloud tends
01:14to thin out over the hills. But for most, because of the absence of cloud breaks, temperatures
01:19will stay in the double figures. I will keep some spots of rain going, especially for western
01:24Scotland, Northern Ireland, western parts of England and Wales, one or two spots elsewhere.
01:29But actually Tuesday promises somewhat brighter skies for many compared with Monday, certainly
01:36for England and Wales, eastern Scotland, north-east England. A few light showers continuing but
01:41otherwise it's a benign set-up really as we go through Tuesday. Similar temperatures in
01:47the afternoon as well. Some more persistent rain into the far north-west of Scotland,
01:51mind you, by the end of the afternoon and into the evening. But you can see how those
01:55cloud breaks are becoming a little more extensive across England and Wales as well as eastern
02:00Scotland as we end Tuesday evening. And because of that, well actually there will be some fog
02:05forming. We've got light winds, high pressure building during Tuesday and into Wednesday.
02:11That high pressure is here to stay for some time, diverting weather fronts well to the north.
02:16However, high pressure doesn't always mean sunny skies and certainly we'll start off
02:20Wednesday with fog in places and further cloud cover, especially through Northern Ireland,
02:26parts of central and southern Scotland, northern England, to the far south and the far north,
02:30perhaps some sunshine at times. A little cooler on Wednesday as well, 13-15 Celsius. It's more
02:36or the same through Thursday and into Friday for many of us. A lot of clouds,
02:40some mist and fog in the mornings but also plenty of dry weather. Bye-bye.
