After a chilly start, Sunday will bring a mixture of fair weather cloud and sunny spells for all, but it will feel colder than of late, particularly in the fresh northerly winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

It will be a cold and frosty start to the new week. A dry day will follow with plenty of sunny spells. Feeling rather chilly. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Feeling cold in the coming days, particularly in brisk northerly winds. Some frost overnight, then a mix of bright spells and showers, these likely turning wintry over hills.

A widespread and in places sharp frost to begin Friday. Then a transition during the day to less cold and more generally unsettled conditions as Atlantic weather fronts make inroads into the UK. These will bring spells of rain potentially quite widely, though the wettest conditions through the latter part of November may occur across more southern areas. There is also the potential for some windy weather to develop at times, again this perhaps more likely further to the south. Compared to the preceding few days, a reduced likelihood of snowfall, though some upland snow remains possible in the north. Temperatures probably returning closer to average, generally speaking, for late November, and perhaps becoming mild at times in the south.

Whilst there is a lot of uncertainty as to the flavour of weather affecting the UK into December, there is a greater chance than normal of slower evolving weather patterns. This could bring rain or showers with hill snow also a possibility, mainly in the north. However, there are also likely to be periods of high pressure at times, bringing more in the way of dry weather, which would increase the chance of overnight fog and frost. Overall, temperatures close to average are most likely, but some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
