Dry, bright start on Wednesday. More cloud, showers late afternoon.
The night will continue dry with clear periods but cloudy at times in the north. It will become frosty in any longer clear periods. Becoming breezy along the coast later. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
The morning will be dry but cloud will spread south and thicken. Rain and showers, snow over the hills, will follow south from the late afternoon. Maximum temperature 6 °C.
Staying very cold with snow showers, these mainly in the north and west with snow falling to low levels. Strong northerly winds will reach gale at times along the coasts.
Updated:
Cold northerly winds dominant across the UK in the first week of January. These will bring wintry showers (often of snow) to many coastlines (and areas just inland of these) that are exposed to onshore winds. Day-to-day changes in wind direction will change the places most exposed to the showers, but many inland locations across central and southern areas will remain mostly dry but cold - some more coherent bands of rain, sleet and snow working south at times. Into the second week of January slightly milder conditions will attempt to move in from the west, with a risk of further snow on the leading edge of these turning to rain. Colder regime more likely to the north with average to just below average in the south.
Updated:
Whilst confidence in details is low, by the start of this period the transition back to westerly winds bringing Atlantic weather systems into the UK is expected to be complete, with temperatures most likely recovering to around or just below average. There is perhaps a weak signal for slowly evolving weather patterns to be more favoured than normal, such patterns increase the chances of frost and fog above normal by night.
