Overview

• An entrenched high over the British Isles is channeling a northwesterly maritime flow that favors low stratus, fog and occasional drizzle across much of the country.
• Daytime highs generally range from about 13 to 18 degrees Celsius with cooler nights, while winds remain light away from some coastal areas.
• Regional splits persist, with the south and southwest brightening after morning fog but the north and east staying cloudier with intermittent light rain.
• In North Rhine-Westphalia, forecasts point to mostly overcast, at times drizzly conditions into early week with temperatures in the mid-teens and only brief sunny intervals.
• The DWD reports no fundamental change in the short term, and hints of a pattern shift late next week remain uncertain, though some private forecasters speculate about a stronger late‑October cooldown or wetter phase.
