Eerie Fog & Rain Expected for UK Halloween Weekend

The United Kingdom is bracing for a mix of heavy rain and eerie fog this Halloween weekend, following a week of severe weather including 80mph winds and power cuts. The Met Office has forecast that fog will greet many across England and Wales on Saturday morning, potentially causing difficult travel conditions.

While Saturday is expected to be mostly dry with sunshine in many areas after the fog clears, a different picture emerges for the north-west. A weather front will bring heavy rain to northern and western Scotland on Saturday night, with light showers also drifting across Northern Ireland. Temperatures on Halloween night are anticipated to be around 11 to 13 degrees Celsius.

Looking ahead, next week is set to be dominated by high pressure, bringing a period of dry weather with sunshine and occasional fog patches. This offers a significant change from the recent stormy conditions, which tragically resulted in two deaths from falling trees and one person being swept out to sea.
