Today:

It will be a chilly start in places with any fog slow to clear. Otherwise dry with variable cloud interspersed with bright and sunny spells. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Tonight:

Dry for most with light winds. Overnight frost developing in places, as well as the odd fog patch possible. Cloudier around the north and west coasts, some showers towards Caithness. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Tuesday:

A mostly dry morning with bright or sunny spells, the odd shower around the coast. Showers spreading south to all parts later in the day. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Turning colder Wednesday and Thursday as a freshening northerly wind brings bright spells and a few showers, perhaps wintry for a time. Bright spells and showers Friday. Overnight frost possible.

High pressure will initially dominate, leading to widely settled conditions and overnight frost. A few showers will be possible, particularly in northern and western Scotland, and perhaps along some North Sea coasts for a time. Later in the weekend, a transition to more unsettled conditions is expected as bands of rain, and associated areas of low pressure, arrive from the North Atlantic, bringing more widespread wet and windy weather. It is likely to remain fairly changeable through the remainder of the period, with occasional rain interspersed with brighter, showery spells. Whilst colder conditions will be possible at times, especially at first, it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average for the time of year.

Changeable or unsettled conditions are expected through late November and into early December, as Atlantic frontal systems track close to or across the UK at times. These will bring periods of rain and strong winds, interspersed with brighter, more showery interludes. Temperatures will often be mild, particularly away from the far northwest where brief colder interludes are possible. Although confidence is low, there may be a tendency for the track of low pressure systems to shift southwards later in the period. In this scenario, rain will still be possible at times across central and southern parts of the UK, while more northern areas may become somewhat drier and perhaps colder.
