A changeable pattern is likely to continue, with areas of rain or showers affecting parts of the UK, particularly across the south and west. These will be interspersed with drier, colder interludes as shorter-lived ridges of high pressure develop. Weather patterns may become slower evolving during the latter stages of November, leading to some uncertainty over how much progress Atlantic frontal systems will make into the UK. Nonetheless, further rain or showers are likely at times, with the potential for some periods of strong winds. Incursions of milder air are likely towards the south, although it could remain on the cold side overall further north, where there is potential for overnight frosts and occasional wintry precipitation, particularly over higher ground.

Low pressure is signalled become slow moving to the west then south of the UK, whilst pressure builds to the north of the country. Further rain is probable across southern and perhaps central areas, but below average precipitation could occur in parts of the north, especially the northwest. With a blocked weather pattern signalled to develop, this increases the chance of colder conditions overall, with associated winter hazards, e.g. snow and ice, occurring; this most likely further to the north.
