In general, somewhat cooler for a few days especially across the north but staying close to normal or a bit above, then warming back into high teens by mid-October. Forecasts for Britain In general, the same pattern will prevail, but at first, the rain predicted for Ireland will affect mainly western parts of Britain and much of Scotland. Later this week, heavier rainfalls will spread across eastern regions as well. Temperatures will be similar and warmer than average by 2-4 C deg. Forecasts for North America The pattern remains warm and dry in most of the eastern and central regions and cool but wet in the west. Some heavier showers are moving inland overnight and will reach the western prairies and northern plains after brief clearing once the current showers move further east towards northern Ontario. Highs today will range from 20-23 C in the Great Lakes and Midwest to around 26 C in the mid-Atlantic states, all about 5 deg above normal for early October. This warmth also covers large parts of the central states. Temperatures in western Canada are closer to 12-14 C at lower elevations and there has been some early snowfalls on higher terrain. My local weather (now back in Vancouver) was cloudy, windy and showery with highs only 13 C. -- Peter
