The start of this period looks like being mostly dry and bright, but feeling cold with a brisk southeasterly breeze. However, during the second half of next week, frontal zones will make gradual and erratic progress east across all parts, bringing some rain, wind and notably milder conditions as winds come in from the Atlantic. Eastern or more especially southeastern parts will be last to see this change to milder conditions, but by the end of next week, all parts are expected to become much milder and more unsettled, These conditions are likely to persist into the following week, with spells of wet and windy weather likely for most parts, but interspersed with cooler, showery conditions. The possibility of some drier spells still exists though, especially towards the southeast.

There is still a very small chance of colder conditions lingering for a time at the start of this period, but it is much more likely that a milder and unsettled theme will dominate, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK. This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, but likely bringing above average rainfall amounts overall, especially towards the west. Temperatures are most likely to become close to or a little above average by early March.
