Patchy fog and frost in the east clearing to leave a generally dry day across the region with some sunshine. However, areas of cloud will affect Cornwall and parts of Devon. Temperatures near average, though breezy for a while. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

It will be a dry evening and night with gentle winds. Cloud cover will vary, with some clear spells developing, especially in the east. A patchy frost may form here. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Tuesday:

Tuesday looks set to be a mostly dry but fairly cloudy day, so sunshine will be rather limited. Temperatures will be near average, with the wind remaining gentle. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Generally dry on Wednesday and to end the week. Often fairy cloudy but some bright spells, and although temperatures near average, patchy frost and fog forming during overnight cloud breaks.

High pressure will lie close to the southeast of the UK initially, with generally settled conditions across many parts. Cloud amounts will be variable, with some frost and fog in the south and east, this slow to clear, but some rain in the far northwest. A weakening frontal system looks like it will edge east across the UK over the weekend, before high pressure briefly builds back in from the west in its wake. Low pressure then seems likely to increasingly influence the UK weather later in the period, with some rain and windier conditions affecting most if not all parts. Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, especially in the north, though more frost and fog patches are likely under clearer skies and lighter winds.

A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely to produce an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the potential for brief colder spells with associated frost, ice and snow remains, following any deep lows crossing the region.
