Planning Outlook
High pressure centred over Scotland will persist during early November bringing settled conditions. Generally dry weather, but some areas of misty dampness and regular fog on low ground, some cloud banks on hills but also inversion conditions on high tops, particularly Scotland. Overnight frost in glens will be common, plus some frost pockets for sheltered high terrain, whilst many summits will stay often just above freezing point. Light winds for several days into next week for Scotland, but stronger easterlies are likely for England and particularly Wales which would push cloud banks higher up here during the week ahead.
