Cold initially in many areas, with widespread frost and an ongoing risk of ice. Snow showers likely in northern Scotland, with wintry showers also possible in some other coastal districts in particular. Meanwhile, rain may attempt to push into some southern areas at times, possibly preceded by some snow in places, but exactly how far north this reaches is uncertain. Towards the weekend and beyond, high pressure is likely to become centred over or to the east of the UK, with generally settled conditions prevailing through mid-month. That said, some wintry showers will be possible at times, and there may also be some occasional attempts of milder conditions and outbreaks of rain (perhaps preceded by snow) to approach from the Atlantic into some western parts of the UK.

Slowly-evolving weather patterns are most likely at first, with high pressure often in the vicinity of the UK, although the exact flavour of the weather we experience depends on where the high and low pressure centres are relative to the UK. Initially temperatures may be below average, especially away from the far northwest, with an ongoing risk of frost where clear skies prevail, and perhaps fog. Later in the month there are hints that it may become milder and more unsettled, as areas of low pressure over the Atlantic make more progress into parts of the UK.
