fine and dry and on the mild side. My colleague Helen Willetts has with

the national picture. Good evening. The dry October

weather is set to continue into the weekend. It's been kind if you've

been on half term. Not that I'm promising this sort of weather for

all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the Isle of Wight. Our top temperature

was 17 Celsius, not too far away. What a lovely and to the date here

at Mansfield Woodhouse. We have had some sunshine and warmth. It is set

to continue, but the fly in the ointment is a weakening weather

friend. It's edging southwards. To the south we are seeing patchy mist

and dense fog, around potentially for the morning. Not as widespread

as recently but just as dangerous. Quite mild here but to the north we

have chilly air, just briefly, because come the weekend we are all

bathed once again in the mild Atlantic air. The chilly air does

mean a touch of rural frost in the morning in Scotland, but also some

sunshine. Further south the fog will take time to clear as it does this

time of year. The cloud comes and goes. Where we see some brightness,

some sunshine will lift the temperatures to 16-17. With the

weather front over East Anglia and the Midlands there could be some

health fog as well. To the north, temperatures not as high as they

have been but more sunshine, quite a sparkling day for some. Just a few

showers around. For Northern Ireland the cloud increases in the afternoon

because the weather front is moving northwards tomorrow. Some

intensification in the rain for the far north and west, damp start on

Saturday. Elsewhere we are prone to cloud breaks and mist and fog issues

on Saturday morning, taking until mid-morning to clear and then we get

into the brighter, dry weather for most and quite warm, particularly of

sunshine breaks through, for this time of year at 14-17dC. Saturday

night brings the approaching weather fronts to the north-west, so

probably thicker cloud and rain here but for the majority for Saturday

into Sunday there will be a lot of dry weather for devoutly and bear in

mind Saturday night into Sunday as the night of the clock change, when

we get an extra hour's sleep and an extra hour in bed so you will wake

up to some rather grey weather on Sunday morning but hopefully we will

see things brightening up. On Sunday the weather front is close to

Scotland and northern Ireland so perhaps the thicker cloud and rain

for a
