Staying largely cloudy through the evening with scattered showers some of them prolonged at first over Shetland. Scattered showers continue overnight with variable amounts of cloud. Light winds. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Wednesday will see bright and sunny spells interspersed with further scattered showers in variable amounts of cloud and a light wind. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Mainly dry and sunny Thursday, but the odd shower. Bright start on Friday then rain and gales later. Blustery showers on Saturday as gales slowly ease.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Sunday and into Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. With time, these may become increasingly confined to northern parts, with pressure possibly building across southern areas. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
