Retail weather: Autumn takes hold

The week last year

Became even cooler with frost from the Midlands northward. Showers dotted the Northwest, dry for everyone else.

The week this year

Temperatures will remain warmer than last year, but near or below normal most of the week. Warmer conditions will come in late week across Scotland and Ireland. Most of the UK can expect daytime highs around 12-16°C.

Showers are likely early across Scotland and Ireland. The rest of the week looks to be dry minus a few scattered showers across northern regions.

Mindset

Temperature comparables will continue to remain weak for driving sales of autumn products, although a slight improvement on last week. Drier conditions later in the week should encourage footfall.
