Cloud and patchy rain soon clearing in the east to leave a generally dry night with clear spells. A slight frost and the odd fog patch forming under light winds. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Tuesday:

Morning frost and any fog will lift to leave some sunshine briefly. Cloud gradually increasing from the west to bring some rain to all parts, and turning breezy. Disappointing temperatures. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

A drier and brighter day on Wednesday with gentle winds. Very changeable thereafter with spells of wet and windy weather to end the week, though turning milder.

A spell of wet and windy weather is likely to impact most areas for a time during Friday and into Saturday. Colder, showery and windy conditions following over the weekend. High pressure then very likely to have increasing influence into the following week with more settled conditions becoming established for a time. This should mean a good deal of dry weather with overnight frosts along with morning fog patches for some regions. Through to the end of this period there is an increased chance of spells of wetter and windier weather returning, these more likely in the north with southern areas having a better chance of more prolonged settled/drier weather. Temperatures varying around average with both some colder and milder spells likely through this period.

Initially, high pressure is likely to be dominant, especially across the south, with relatively settled conditions likely overall. Frontal systems may still affect north and northwest UK at times. During the first few days of this period, however, a change to more unsettled conditions appears likely for a time, bringing a greater prevalence of rain and showers to most areas but especially the northwest. Some of the showers could be wintry, especially on high ground. Later in the month, there are signals that higher pressure may become re-established, with more settled conditions likely to develop, particularly across the south. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with colder interludes bringing frost and fog.
