London and South East England

According to the Met Office, the region experienced a misty start to the day, but this is set to clear, leaving bonfire night weather conditions ideal for displays, with a low chance of wind or cloud. Temperatures will also be mild, with highs of 16°C.

South West England

A dry day across much of southwest England with some sunny spells will give way to showers across parts of the region, particularly in West Cornwall, in which the weather will take a turn for the worse overnight. However, the rest of the South West should remain dry, meaning that displays are unlikely to be affected.

East England

Although low cloud, mist and possible fog are set to affect some areas, there should also be some clear spells. Isolated showers are possible, especially across Norfolk.

The Midlands

Although isolated showers are possible, most places are most likely staying dry. There may be a light south-easterly breeze and a chance of mist. The West Midlands should be dry this evening with some clear skies at times.
