With November already on the horizon, the UK is yet to see its first named storm of the season.
Deep Atlantic lows responsible for more turbulent conditions have been steered away by dominant areas of high pressure. Typically in autumn the jet stream would be a regular visitor to the skies above the UK, steering wet and windy weather towards us.
These weather patterns have therefore meant only occasional bouts of stronger winds across the north-west of the UK, with little disruption.
However, the Met Office predicts a growing chance that late autumn and early winter will turn wetter and windier as El Niño strengthens in the Pacific, alongside autumn setting in and temperatures around polar regions starting to fall as nights get longer.
