Summary
October 2019 was a typical Autumnal month of mobile UK-Atlantic weather with a succession of depressions, fronts and high-pressure systems bringing unsettled and changeable weather. At the at the start of the month the ‘eyeballed’ mean low pressure track was to the North West, with depressions moving to the North East through the Iceland/Hebrides gaps trailing fronts across the country giving rain with some settled spells in between. As the month progressed, this track gradually moved south, as befits the transition of the seasons. Slower moving complex lows were centred over the UK on and around the 20th. These were followed by some more intense areas of high pressure responsible for the hard frost in Scotland at the end of the month.
