North West England weather forecast

Headline:

Dry but often cloudy to end 2025.

This Evening and Tonight:

Fairly cloudy in many places this evening and overnight but some clear spells are possible. Where skies remain clear, most likely across Cumbria, frost and patchy freezing fog is possible by dawn. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Monday:

Generally rather cloudy across most of the region but occasional sunny intervals may develop in places. Brighter across Cumbria. Fairly light winds but chilly after a cold start. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Remaining generally dry to end 2025 with sunny spells. Widespread overnight frosts and patchy freezing fog. Turning colder from New Year's Day with an increased risk of wintry showers.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Sun 28 Dec 2025

UK long range weather forecast

Cold northerly winds, initially across Scotland are now expected to become dominant across the whole UK in the first week of January. These will bring wintry showers (often of snow) to many coastlines (and areas just inland of these) that are exposed to onshore winds. Subtle day-to-day changes in wind direction from northeast to northwest will change the places most exposed to the showers, but many inland locations across central and southern areas will remain mostly dry but cold. There are likely to be some more coherent bands of rain, sleet and snow working south, and these may bring a risk of more prolonged wintry precipitation affecting some inland areas. Towards the second half of this period, slightly milder conditions will attempt to move in from the west.

Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Sun 28 Dec 2025

Whilst confidence in details is low, by the start of this period the transition back to westerly winds bringing Atlantic weather systems into the UK is expected to be complete, with temperatures most likely recovering to around average. There is perhaps a weak signal for slowly evolving weather patterns to be more favoured than normal, such patterns increase the chances of frost and fog above normal by night.
