Here’s what to expect if you’re out and about over the coming days
This weekend marks the official start of winter in the UK as the clocks will go back by one hour on Sunday.
While the clock change will give us an extra hour of sleep on Sunday, October 26 it also means the start of darker days.
But with half-term and Halloween on the horizon, there’s lots happening so you’ll want to know the latest outlook if you’re heading out and about this weekend.

Here’s what to expect for the coming days in Northern Ireland, according to the Met Office.
Friday:
The morning will begin mainly dry and occasionally bright, but cloud and showers will increase from late morning. Maximum temperature 13 C
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Saturday will be cloudy cold and breezy with showers. The showers clear overnight to leave Sunday cloudy but dry. Outbreaks of rain, some heavy, spread northeast Monday.
UK long range weather forecast: Tuesday 28 October – Thursday 6 November
A changeable start to the period with bands of rain from the Atlantic moving across the country at times. The wettest and windiest conditions are likely to be across the northwest with some decent drier interludes across the south and east.
Around the turn of the month or into early November, wetter and windier conditions across the north and west are likely to extend more widely across the country. It is somewhat uncertain when this will occur with high pressure attempting to persist across the southeast maintaining more settled conditions here.
Temperatures will be a little below average at the start of the period, likely trending upwards with potential for a mild spell around the turn of the month.
