Weather/Oct. UK/Ireland/Scotl.and
I'm on a tour the first 2 weeks of Oct. from
London up thru Britain to Scotland over to
Ireland, back thru Wales to London. In Fahrenheit degrees, what is the weather like
at that time in those places?/Average temperature in fahrenheit degrees?

Averages do not mean a thing. In August the average high in London would be the high 70's but this year they had 100F+. Plus you are you are covering hundreds of miles so you will likely see all sorts of temperatures.
Just plan on anything from the low 70's to the high 40's and dress in layers. On this Itinerary you will be spend many hours on coaches so you need to be prepared for the air conditionong too.

50/60 degrees in fahrenheit is an approximation, but weather at this time of year is not dependable. We've had times when it's been quite warm and other years with a cold snap.
This is the forecast from a well respected British weatherman (Bill Giles)
Saturday 6 September to Friday 12 September:
High pressure building close to Ireland will push weather fronts away into the North Sea, but in turn it will be replaced by southwesterly winds late in the week bringing more rain bearing fronts in from the Atlantic.
North and west Scotland and Northern Ireland will have quite a cool week with a mixture of sunshine and showers, and some the showers could well turn out to be quite frequent and heavy in the blustery northwesterly winds.
The showers will die away around the middle of the week before more cloud and rain pushes in from the Atlantic. As the low pressure moves away from Scotland, so north and west Scotland and Northern Ireland will return to sunny spells and blustery showers once again.
For eastern Scotland, and most of England and Wales, it will be not too bad a weekend. Any rain should be confined to eastern Scotland and eastern parts of England and this will soon clear away into the North Sea.
It will then become brighter with some sunny spells, but somewhat colder too in the predominately northwesterly winds.
It seems likely that there will be a reasonable spell of weather after that, with only a few showers in northwest England and western Wales. By the end of the week more showers, or even some longer spells of rain, are likely, with most of the rain in the west.
Hope this helps?!

I find the weather in October not too different to the North East USA. Maybe the evenings don't dip as much but it will definitely be cool. Having said that, Indian Summers are possible. I would bring a fleece and, of course, rain gear. Layers are always good.
Hope that helps.
