Weather Forecast For Reading & Berkshire

  Sunday 9th November 2025

  Staying very mild with rain at times in the coming week – perhaps colder the week after, but that’s a long way away.

  Thanks to Andy for the photograph.

  So we are still in this position where high pressure over Europe is blocking Atlantic low pressure system from crossing the UK, but it’s close enough to send weather fronts across at times.

  

  Sunday is a sunny start for many, though there are a few fog patches around. Cloud will gradually build during the day to make the sunshine increasingly hazy, but it will stay dry. Just about getting to 14’C and breezy later. Showery rain arriving later in the evening, some heavy bursts likely overnight – 12’C.

  Monday sees further showery rain, some heavy bursts at times, especially in the morning and around lunchtime. Less showers in the afternoon but still some around – some brightness at times. Around 13’C and breezy. Reasonably clear skies overnight, down to around 7’C.

  Tuesday looks bright at times, but there will be plenty of cloud around thanks to the next set of weather fronts. Perhaps some bits of rain in the morning, but the first area should be further to our north – the main band of rain arriving in the evening at some point, perhaps more likely late evening though uncertain on the timing. Very mild, around 15’C and windy. Showery outbreaks of rain continuing overnight, still windy, still mild – around 14C.

  Wednesday most likely is a cloudy day with further outbreaks of rain at times. Very mild and breezy, 15’C. Likely cloudy overnight, further rain possible later in the night but uncertain. Around 13’C.

  By Thursday the low pressure system to our west is kind of giving up trying to cross the UK, and starts to sink south towards the Azores.

  

  Uncertain on weather conditions at this stage. It will still be very mild, but whether it is a wet day or there is some hazy sunshine to be had – uncertain.

  Likewise Friday, the very mild weather hangs on but where weather fronts will be is uncertain. It will likely rain at some point(s) on Thursday and/or Friday, but when it highly uncertain.

  Details for next weekend are highly uncertain – colder (and drier) weather is going to try to push down from the north. Will it make it? Not sure.

  I’d say Saturday is 65/35 in favour of very mild. Sunday more 50/50. Monday more 70/30 is favour of colder.

  So there is a good chance of something colder and drier for the w/c 17th November, at least for a few days – perhaps overnight frost, perhaps fog.

  No strong signals after that, though I’d say a return to something more unsettled and milder is the more likely outcome for late November.

  Have a good Sunday.

  Thursday 6th November 2025

  Very mild and fairly mixed weather ahead.

  Thanks to Luci for the photograph.

  So the general picture sees high pressure over Europe trying to block the Atlantic from sending low pressure systems across – and we are on the border, so it looks fairly mixed with neither settled or unsettled weather dominating right now.

  

  We start Thursday fairly cloudy, some bright spells around but also some bits of showery rain around too. The afternoon remains fairly cloudy, but there will be some hazy sunshine at times. Very mild, 16’C, maybe even 17’C. A mild and fairly cloudy night, patchy mist/fog possible later in the night, and a chance of one or two showers also before dawn. Around 13’C.

  Friday morning sees a few showers around, perhaps heavy, plenty of cloud though also some brightness. Probably somewhat sunnier through the lunchtime period (give or take) before a band of rain arrives mid/late afternoon, bringing 2-3 hours of patchy rain. Mild, around 15’C and becoming a bit breezier later in the day. Skies gradually clearing overnight, though fog may form in places towards dawn – around 9’C.

  Saturday will be a pleasant day once any fog/low cloud in the morning has cleared – uncertain as to what extent fog/low cloud will have developed, and if it has, when it will break up. At best, it could be mostly sunny all day, at worst it will take until early afternoon to break up. Roughly around 14’C. Fairly clear skies overnight, a chance of fog patches forming in the latter half of the night – down to around 7’C, though very give and take on that.

  By Sunday we’ll start to see weather fronts edge our way, but for most or all of the day it should be reasonably pleasant for the time of year, some sunshine, some cloud and still mild – around 14’C. Outbreaks of rain probably cross overnight.

  Not yet able to do details for Monday, but broadly speaking rain clearing – just how long it takes to clear is uncertain, perhaps in the morning with sunny spells to follow – perhaps it lasts much of the day. Around 13’C or so.

  By Tuesday low pressure will be making more of an effort to push our way – but it will still be blocked from doing so.

  

  Day to day details not yet possible for next week, but broadly speaking it will be the same pattern of occasional weather fronts bringing some rain, but often dry.

  Often cloudy but sometimes sunny, overnight fog possible. The one detail I’m most confident on is it being mild or very mild, with a southerly flow from Africa so I wouldn’t be surprised to see 17’C reached at some point next week, though broadly around 14’C.

  No strong signals for the latter half of November, perhaps some coldish weather for a short spell, though likely to balance out as milder than normal overall. And otherwise fairly mixed, some dry spells, some rain at times.

  Have a good end to the week.

  Sunday 2nd November 2025

  Fairly unsettled but generally mild/very mild is the theme.

  Thanks to Lucinda for the photograph.

  The general synoptics see us in a westerly flow, a pretty standard autumnal pattern.

  

  Today (Sunday) will be a reasonable day though, plenty of sunshine, some fair weather cloud, a small chance of a stray shower in the early afternoon period. Around 12’C and breezy. A little chilly at first tonight, down to around 6’C though temperatures lifting in the second half of the night as cloud thickens, with some patchy rain.

  Monday morning will be fairly cloudy, some bright spells, perhaps a bit of patchy rain at times. Probably somewhat sunnier in the afternoon. Mild, 15’C, maybe 16’C – generally quite windy. Fairly cloudy overnight, some bits of light rain possible – around 13’C.

  Tuesday looks fairly cloudy again, some bits of light rain possible at times, some brightness too. More general showery rain might spread up from the south-west in the afternoon, though uncertain – the track looks slightly more likely to be further to our west as it stands. Still mild, 15’C, maybe 16’C and generally quite windy. Generally cloudy and mild overnight, some bits of rain possible – around 14’C.

  More of the same for Wednesday, plenty of cloud but some brightness possible – likewise some showery rain possible, though again uncertain on the track, and more likely focused further west of us. Very mild, 16’C – perhaps a little more thanks to the injection of tropical air via ex-Hurricane Melissa. Cloudy and mild overnight, probably some showery rain – but again details uncertain. Around 14’C.

  Lower confidence by Thursday, low pressure still around so further showers possible.

  By Friday, I think we’ll start to see high pressure over the continent trying to put a stop to the westerly flow.

  

  Quite a messy picture of neither high pressure or low pressure really having control for Friday and into next weekend – probably at least one weather front will cross during this period with some rain, then otherwise a mixture of cloudy spells and sunny spells, with temperatures roughly around 12’C or so.

  Probably we’ll see high pressure having more influence over our weather for the second half of November, though it’s not a very strong signal.

  Have a pleasant Sunday.

  Monday 30th October 2025

  Unsettled but mild is the theme.

  Thanks again to Tracy for the photograph.

  The general set-up sees low pressure to the west taking control – it’s going to head towards Iceland but it will keep sending weather fronts our way.

  

  Thursday starts bright with some sunny spells. Cloud will thicken from the west this morning, the first weather front will cross this afternoon but little in the way of rain, occasional patchy light rain at most – it may even stay dry with some bright spells. Around 13’C. The weather front arrives around late evening and will bring a few hours of showery rain, some heavy bursts possible. Still around 13’C and quite windy.

  Friday is a mostly cloudy start to the day. Some showery rain will spread up from the south-west during the morning, heavy bursts possible. Some bright spells probable in the afternoon but further showers probable too, heavy, perhaps very heavy with a rumble of thunder. Generally a windy day, gusty in showers, but also milder – around 16’C. Further heavy, showery rain arriving mid/late evening, perhaps very heavy at times – again some strong gusts of wind possible. Drier towards dawn, though a shower still possible in the wind, around 11’C.

  Saturday looks like a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, showers more likely lunchtime onwards, possibly heavy/very heavy with a rumble of thunder, though some uncertainty on how many develop – potentially your area could stay dry. Around 13’C, maybe 14’C and breezy – especially in the morning. Further heavy showers at time in the evening and overnight, and some cooler air in the mix again – down to around 7’C.

  Sunday should actually be a reasonable day, perhaps still some cloud/showers first thing but mostly dry with sunny spells and variable cloud after that clears. Around 12’C and breezy. Cloudy overnight with some patchy rain at times – though the bulk will be further north.

  By Monday the low pressure system is still towards Iceland, now re-enforced by ex-Melissa, which adds a bit more tropical energy but also potentially some more tropical air for us in a day or two.

  

  Generally Monday will be a cloudy day, with some bits of showery rain but not much, and windy. Milder at around 15’C or so. Similar conditions overnight, no lower than around 12’C.

  Tuesday looks broadly cloudy and windy as a weather front decays over us – perhaps some rain but quite uncertain on that. Milder, around 16’C.

  Wednesday is uncertainty – broadly cloudy and windy would seem a reasonable bet for now, we might have some more tropical air over us so anything up to 18’C is feasible, though it could easily be 14’C which is mild but pretty ordinary.

  High pressure building over Europe, which I’d suggest may be due to ex-Melissa, should keep weather fronts at bay to an extent after that – I think one or two will still get through, but generally more dry weather. And milder than normal seems likely.

  Have a pleasant end to the week.
