Rainfall will typically be heaviest in the northwest, with much less reaching sheltered eastern areas. Some parts of the southeast may be largely fine. Across high ground in the north, some snow is possible at times. Winds will probably be strong at times, with a risk of gales. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above average.

Changeable conditions will probably continue to dominate during this period, with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK. These will bring spells of rain and perhaps strong winds, with the wettest conditions in the northwest, whilst the southeast will likely be driest. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above normal overall. It is possible that longer spells of dry weather occur later in the month as more blocked pattern could develop, which could lead to some colder conditions too.
