Remaining widely cloudy this evening and overnight with mist and hill fog thickening across the higher ground. Staying generally dry but a few drizzly outbreaks are possible for some. Staying fairly mild beneath the blanket of cloud. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Friday:

Another generally cloudy day but brightening up in places, with the best of the sunshine probably across Cumbria. Still rather breezy along the coast, but light winds elsewhere. Feeling cooler. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Remaining cloudy over the weekend with showery outbreaks of rain possible at times. Drier and brighter on Monday, with occasional sunny spells, though feeling cooler in a westerly wind.

Likely still a good deal of dry weather during the middle of next week. Most areas should be largely dry with a good chance of sunny spells but also scope for overnight frost in clearer areas. The influence of high pressure is likely to decline through the course of next week with an increasing chance of showers or longer spells of rain, initially more likely in the east. However, there is currently significant uncertainty in how quickly conditions turn more unsettled. Thereafter, likely more mixed conditions conditions with some wetter, windier weather at times but also some drier interludes bringing the chance of morning fog patches. Temperatures overall around average though with potential for some rather cold spells.

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. The wettest conditions likely across the northwest of the country with drier weather across the southeast. Some colder interludes possible but overall temperatures more likely to be around or above average.
