Headline:

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying generally cloudy this evening and overnight with occasional drizzle at times, especially over the hills. A rather murky night for some with fog in places, this widespread over higher ground. Remaining relatively mild. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Wednesday:

A grey and rather murky start for some, with fog possible in places. Brightening up for many by the afternoon with some sunshine. Feeling mild in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

This period will consist of a lot of dry, though often cloudy weather. Frost and patchy fog is possible where cloud breaks occur, but temperatures becoming below average by Saturday.

This period is expected to see a transition, possibly lasting over several days, between the settled, dry, and often dull conditions expected over the next few days, to something more unsettled. Sunday itself is likely to be rather cloudy and cool, with outbreaks of rain in the west drifting slowly eastwards. The start of the following week will most likely see more settled conditions with light winds becoming re-established, with a chance of rain in both the far north and the far south, and a smaller chance that the rain could become more widespread. Later in the week, periods of much wetter and windier weather will most likely become more prevalent, from northwest to southeast, alternatively there is a very small chance of colder, drier, but perhaps wintry, easterly winds.

A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely through this period, resulting in an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the potential for brief colder spells with associated frost, ice and snow remains, following any deep lows crossing the region.
