Increasing cloud, with some rain sleet and snow. Staying cold.

Rain, sleet and snow moving eastwards through the evening, clearing to sleet and snow showers overnight. Clearer breaks will allow temperatures to fall and icy stretches to develop. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Wednesday:

Another cold day is expected, with rather cloudy skies to start. Turning brighter through the afternoon. Gusty winds. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Most likely dry for much of Thursday. An increasing risk of heavy rain, sleet and snow later, along with strong winds. Perhaps lingering into Friday. Sunshine and wintry showers Saturday.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Tue 6 Jan 2026

UK long range weather forecast

A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.

Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Tue 6 Jan 2026

The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
