The Met Office forecast for November 2 to November 11 states: "High pressure is set to dominate the UK through the first week of this period, bringing a lot of dry weather. Cloud amounts will be variable and though there should be some sunshine by day, some locations will likely see areas of fog, which once formed, could be slow to clear or possibly linger all day. For most, temperatures look to be fairly close average, though it will remain cold where any fog sticks around. Some overnight frost is likely where skies are clear and winds light."
