Read moreAfter a chilly start most areas will have a dry day with a good deal of sunshine. However, showers are likely in the northwest for a time, which could be wintry over the hills. A breezy day in the north.
It will be a dry night everywhere with clear spells and a widespread frost. A few freezing fog patches are possible, mainly in the southeast. Remaining breezy in the north.
High pressure will bring dry and settled conditions. Frost and any fog will lift to leave a mostly sunny day. Patchy cloud developing in the south. Turning breezy more widely.
High pressure will move away to the northeast of the UK. This will allow a cold east to southeasterly wind to develop, introducing more cloud and some showers, perhaps wintry.
High pressure is expected to remain slow moving to the northeast of the UK. As a result, breezy winds across many areas are likely to come from the east or southeast, and cloud amounts are expected to increase as continental air is gradually drawn across the UK. Breezy winds and increased cloud amounts are expected to exacerbate the cold feel, with temperatures often below average. Although many places across the country will remain dry, southern and southwestern areas in particular may see some wintry precipitation at times. Overnight frost is likely to feature during this period, particularly where skies are clear, however where winds remain breezy this will decrease the overall risk of a hard frost forming.
Weather patterns in the UK are most likely to be slowly evolving during this period. It is most likely that high pressure to the east or northeast of the UK will dominate at first in some form or another, but with time this may decline, allowing an erratic transition to rather more unsettled and possibly less cold conditions. During this transition there is the possibility of more prolonged rain or snow developing, at least for a time, but confidence in these details is currently very low.
