Tonight:

Dry this evening and overnight. Clear spells in the west allowing frost and fog to form. Low cloud creating misty and murky conditions further east but also holding temperatures up. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Cloud and hill fog in the east gradually lifting with a limited number of bright spells emerging. Rain arriving in the west during the afternoon as the wind picks up. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
