A drier day for most with sunny spells in places and much lighter winds. Still a chance of showers, these wintry at times and most frequent around coasts in the west. Still feeling rather cold. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Tonight:

Clear skies to start the evening means it will turn cold with some frost. Then overnight, rain and some hill snow will move in from the west as winds strengthen. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Outbreaks of rain and some hill snow on Sunday, though falling mostly as rain by the afternoon. A risk of freezing rain could lead to some icy stretches. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Turning milder into next week, with periods of heavy showers or longer spells of rain. Winds will strengthen at times, though there will also be some occasional brighter interludes.

Changeable and occasionally unsettled conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems moving in from the Atlantic will tend to dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain for much of the UK. Some heavy rain or showers are likely at times, most often across high ground in the west where rainfall totals will probably be highest. Periods of strong wind or gales are possible, especially around coasts and if any deep areas of low pressure develop in the vicinity of the UK. Some short-lived spells of mainly dry weather are likely between weather systems. Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly above average for the time of year overall.

A broadly southwesterly regime is most probable during this period, bringing changeable conditions and spells of wet weather, with some heavy rain in places. Strong winds are possible at times with temperatures mostly near normal.
