Tuesday:

Heavy rain clearing northwards through the morning. Remaining mostly cloudy with some light outbreaks of rain possible, but many staying dry in the afternoon. Storm Bram brings gale-force winds. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunny spells and showers on Wednesday with coastal gales. Thursday and Friday remain mostly cloudy with occasional rain interspersed with dry periods, and breezy at times.

A continuation of a similar pattern to that seen through early December is anticipated, especially at first, as frontal systems from the Atlantic spread into and across the UK, interspersed with some temporary drier interludes. These will bring spells of rain, which may be heavy at times leading to the risk of some impacts given how wet it has been lately, especially in the west. In addition, there may also be potential for some periods of strong winds at times too. Whilst it will often be mild, later in the period there may be a slight downward trend in temperature, especially across northern parts of the UK where there may also be a slightly higher chance of some wintry hazards at times.

Changeable conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK and some hill snow in the north. Periods of strong wind are also possible, especially around coasts. Some drier, more settled spells are possible but how long these last is very uncertain. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly above overall.
