    The last month of autumn will be characterised by mild conditions vying for supremacy with chillier weather. The UK and Eire will experience some breezy and wet passages, but also some drier weather. Northern and some western regions of both Britain and Ireland are likely to experience most of the inclement conditions. Embedded within the more unsettled spells there is a hint of some sleet or wet snow episodes across parts of northern and perhaps upland western Britain – the greatest likelihood for this scenario is towards the end of the month. The South and East generally will be the sunniest. Any clear passages by day across the British Isles will lead to the formation of overnight frost and local fog. PWS expects November for most regions to approach the long-term average for rainfall. It will begin to feel chilly at times, especially in late month, though temperatures overall will be not be far off the norm

    :p

    Very good! This guy is a chancer - he says he analyses climate records and uses them to produce forecasts. Another one who has found a 'secret method' that has eluded the rest of the world despite decades of conventional scientific research.

    Important to cover your options. :)

    Mind you I used to like the weather 'forecast' on one of the English language stations in Hong Kong some years ago. Consisted solely of 'Today's weather was.....' In fairness they were 100% accurate all of the time.

    Not sure but is this the same guy/organisation that predicted that October would see a 'big freeze' in Ireland thus spurring on panic headlines by tabloids and populist meedja?

    We have yet to record even an air frost this month, which, for October, is very unusual.

    No, yer man who said we'd have snow by the end of October is James Madden of Exacta Weather. Positive Weather Solutions forecast for last winter was pretty useless, they said December would be "chilly" and February "bitterly cold". I suppose it would have been accurate if you read it backwards!

    "I expect November, December, January, and Feb­ruary to feature largely below average temperatures across many parts of the UK."

    And I expect May, June, July and August to feature above average temperatures. It's a seasonal thing and it happens every year.
