It's going to be unsettled and wet at times

October is certainly delivering a wet one, with plenty of flooding across the UK.

So far we’ve seen 105mm of rain, and we’ve escaped the worst of it, says Oldham weather expert Jon Baylis. 

The average for the whole of October is 107mm, so we’ll be exceeding that before month-end.

As we enter November little change is expected overall - there's more unsettled weather to come.

Here's your latest forecast:

Today (Thursday): Rain from overnight will drift away to the northeast during the morning.

Some bright spells follow but with showers from the southwest and a steady breeze.

A little milder than recently. 

Max 12°C Min 7°C.

Friday: Low pressure anchored to our west feeding up bands of showers at times.

Not all doom and gloom with some bright intervals in between. 

Max 13°C Min 8°C.

Weekend: Low pressure rules again.

Saturday: Showers at times, some heavy and perhaps thundery and slow-moving.

But like Friday, there will be slots of drier and perhaps brighter conditions. 

Max 12°C Min 7°C.

Sunday: A little uncertainty for this particular day with a band of persistent and heavy rain likely during the morning.

This moves away to the north leaving an afternoon of scattered heavy showers. 

Max 12°C Min 7°C.

Outlook: Into next week Monday sees further showers but these should be fewer and further between and with clearer skies later a chilly night follows.

Tuesday looks the best day with a brief ridge of high pressure bringing a drier and sunnier day.

Wind and rain to return as the week progresses.

No sign of any drastic change in the daytime temperatures but they will drop a little next week making it feel a little chilly at times.
