Headline:

Cloud breaking to overnight frost and fog. Mainly fine Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Becoming dry into the evening, with extensive low cloud very gradually thinning and developing breaks overnight. Given the light winds, frost is expected in many areas, with some fog or freezing fog patches also possible later in the night. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Saturday:

Brightest in the north, with some eventual sunny intervals once early low cloud clears, as cloudier conditions periodically affect the south. Becoming generally cloudy with some rain into the evening. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Mainly dry but with rather a lot of cloud around in this period, with some haziness and morning fog. Becoming clearer but more unsettled Tuesday, with wind and rain later.

The first part of this period will continue to see the UK located at the interface between high pressure across Europe and low pressure over the North Atlantic. As such, western areas will likely see spells of rain at times, along with stronger winds, whereas eastern parts should see more in the way of drier interludes, though even here, some rain is possible from time to time. Towards the middle of March, there is a signal for unsettled conditions to perhaps become more widespread, with all parts seeing a higher chance of rain and stronger winds. Throughout, temperatures should overall be a little above average for most areas.

The start of this period could see unsettled conditions fairly widely across the UK, with spells of rain and strong winds affecting many areas at times, although western areas likely remain wettest. Then, whilst confidence in the details is low, there is the potential for weather patterns to become slower-moving by late March, with unsettled weather possibly becoming more confined to parts of the south west, as areas towards the north turn drier. Overall, temperatures will probably end up near to average, and at present there are indications of a cooler spell towards the turn of the month.
