The current settled spell marks quite a contrast to the turbulent conditions experienced just a week ago, when the UK was hit by its first named storms of the season, Austen and Bóelo.
Both systems delivered much-needed rainfall, with Bóelo particularly notable for the sheer volume of rain it brought.
According to the Environment Agency, rainfall associated with both named storms, along with another area of low pressure on Monday, contributed to the wettest week across the UK for two years.
Whilst the current area of high pressure will stay over or close to the UK for at least 10 days it looks like another change could begin around mid-November.
Signs are that high pressure could loosen its hold, allowing Atlantic low-pressure systems to approach the country.
This change would mean wetter and windier weather again for the UK, with most areas probably seeing average or even above average rainfall.

As the El Niño weather event in the Pacific Ocean continues to intensify it has been linked to wetter and stormier weather in the UK during late autumn and early winter.
