Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for rain are in place for Saturday and again on Monday.
Read moreWet and windy conditions clearing east.
A band of heavy rain will move east, with spells of lighter rain ahead. Dry and brighter conditions follow from the west through the afternoon along with lighter winds, after windy conditions accompany the rain. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
Dry with sometimes large amounts of cloud but also clear periods, allowing temperatures to fall to freezing in some rural locations. Light winds. Minimum temperature 0 °C.
Dry with some patchy cloud but also sunny periods, the best sunshine likely for southern and western areas. Feeling chilly despite light winds, with temperatures quickly falling in the evening. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Monday milder, wet and windy with gales along the south coast. Tuesday and Wednesday breezy and cooler again with temperatures closer to average, and sunny intervals with scattered showers.
Updated:
Changeable and often unsettled conditions are expected to affect the UK during this period. The most likely weather pattern is one of successive areas of low pressure moving in from the west or southwest and then tending to become rather slow-moving in the vicinity of the UK. This means a story of showers or longer spells of rain, with almost anywhere seeing some heavy rainfall at times, but the greatest chance of wetter than normal conditions will be in the west. Any snowfall is most likely over higher ground in the north. Strong winds are also a possibility from time to time, again perhaps more likely in western areas. Given the changeable pattern originating from the Atlantic, temperatures will most likely be close to or a little above normal.
Updated:
A broad continuation of the weather patterns experienced in early December is the most likely scenario through this period. This means low pressure is likely to carry on dominating the UK's weather, especially through the middle part of December. Further spells of rain, interspersed by clear, showery interludes, along with some windy conditions at times; again the wettest conditions are more likely to be in the west. Later in December, there are still hints of something a little less unsettled developing, though long-lived dry spells look unlikely. Temperatures remaining close to or perhaps a little above average overall.
