Dry and chilly start to November after wet but sunny October
High pressure has seized control of the UK weather meaning largely dry, settled but chilly autumn conditions will continue this week.
Days will bring a mix of patchy cloud, sunny spells and a few showers, with frost and fog expected to form at night - especially in northern and western areas.
Temperatures will generally be around or a little below the seasonal norm and it will feel particularly chilly in southern England and south Wales where there will be a brisk easterly breeze.
The relatively quiet start to November follows a decidedly mixed October which - according to Met Office data just released was wetter, warmer and sunnier than average.
Provisional Met Office statistics show that the UK received 13% more rain overall than in a typical October.
All four nations had above average rainfall but the trend was particularly clear in northern Scotland, which came in 31% above the long-term average.
The wettest weather came during the final third of the month, especially as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo swept through.
The UK's joint-sixth wettest day on record was provisionally 24 October.

The Environment Agency said England had experienced its wettest week in two years but warned it was not enough to ease the ongoing drought.
