I can't access one online -
Please share if you have some knowledge. Bbc is saying rain mostly all week in London next week.

Are we looking at rain all through October? I have not got out winter clothes for work -
Wondering if this is the time

Metcheck does a long range weather forecast. But long range forecasting isn't very accurate.

Met office website says:

UK long range weather forecast
Thursday 3 Oct -Saturday 12 Oct
High pressure is likely to become more dominant during the midweek period, with more widely drier and brighter conditions and just a few isolated showers. However, this may be a relatively short-lived quieter interlude as low pressure over the Atlantic becomes increasingly influential into the weekend with areas of rain crossing through, although the timing of this transition is uncertain. Following an unsettled weekend a mixture of unsettled showery spells and longer periods of rain is most likely, though still with some brighter spells with the driest weather in the south and east. Temperatures probably near or below-average at first, recovering to above-average for a time by next weekend, but then likely trending below-average for the following week.

Confidence is rather low throughout this period, but there is a chance of more settled conditions during the second half the month with potentially longer periods of dry weather developing, bringing the chance of fog and frost at night. However, there remains a reasonable chance that wetter, more unsettled conditions could continue. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average, especially so later in the month.

Even yesterday, BBC were saying it would be rainy here this morning. It's dry with high cloud for now, no sign of rain. Even if it does rain later, that's different from what the forecast said.

It's definitely autumn now. It will rain on some days. Sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes briefly, sometimes all day. It will also be sunny/cloudy/ windy/warm/chilly... all the weather, basically.

FWIW, the Met office says rain tomorrow, then cloud/sun and up to 17c. But that may/may not be right, and will probably change.

Pack suitable clothes, go with an open mind, and all will be well!
