Weather Update: High Pressure Returns After a Cold Weekend
Listen to the story
This weekend, the weather will be cold and unstable. Low temperatures will fall in many places.
But next week, the weather will change again. A strong anticyclone will come back. This will bring stable weather.
Stable weather means more sun and less rain. But there will still be some small problems on some days.
This autumn has been strange. It has felt more like summer, with warm weather. Some people call warm weather in autumn an 'ottobrata'. This means warm, sunny days in October.
At the end of October, the warm weather may return again. Experts say the temperatures could be higher than usual for this time of year.
People should watch the weather news. The forecast can still change before next week.
