Another dull day with continuous cloud, patchy drizzle expected throughout, especially towards the coast. Light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudy with rain moving southeast Sunday, clearing later. Monday will be drier and sunny. Isolated fog Tuesday morning, becoming sunny, with some isolated coastal showers. Temperatures gradually falling.

High pressure from early in the week likely reducing its influence during the middle of next week though to an uncertain degree. Likely turning cloudier again across many areas with a chance of showers or longer spells, most probable in parts of the north and east. Southwestern areas have the greatest chance of maintaining largely dry conditions. Temperatures around average but with a greater chance of mild conditions in the northwest and below average temperatures in the southeast. During next weekend and into the following week there are signs that the influence of high pressure will decline to the west. This means northern and eastern areas remain most likely to see more unsettled conditions. This also increases the likelihood of a spell of northerly winds and colder conditions.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely more unsettled than during early November. There is a greater chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These bringing some wetter and windier interludes followed by drier periods. Some colder interludes are possible but overall temperatures more likely to be around or above average.
