September's weather has been a study in contrasts, from early warmth to a surprising cold snap with thunderstorms. Now, as high pressure builds, the UK prepares for a shift to drier conditions and above-average temperatures.

A complex weather pattern across the UK this weekend, with showers and thunderstorms for England and Wales contrasting sharply with drier conditions in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, central Europe grapples with the aftermath of severe flooding, with the potential for further rainfall in the region.

September's varied weather continues, with a cold snap following substantial rainfall events. The weekend begins dry and sunny for most, but another low pressure system approaches, threatening more rain. This could exacerbate flooding in already affected areas, particularly across southern Britain.

High pressure fades as low moves in from west. Ex-Hurricane Kirk may bring disruptive weather to S/E England midweek. Unsettled conditions expected, followed by a brief cold snap. Long-term outlook suggests milder, settled weather late October.

A marked change in weather pattern is forecast, with temperatures set to increase substantially. Following a cold than average start to October spell, southerly winds will pull warm air masses from the Mediterranean, potentially reaching the low 20s Celsius.

As Storm Ashley looms, memories of last year's Storm Babet resurface. While Ashley brings gale-force winds to parts of the UK, rainfall is expected to be less severe. Looking ahead to the latter part of October, high pressure is expected to play more of a role.

A significant shift in the weather pattern is underway which will bring Arctic air across the UK from Sunday, leading to a marked temperature drop and potential for snow, particularly across northern and eastern areas.

As Britain's cold spell eases, we examine a November event that, while not unprecedented in timing, was remarkable for its widespread snow coverage and low temperatures.
