After a spell of persistent heavy rain, high pressure will settle the weather across the UK, bringing widespread cold conditions and some wintry hazards.
Read moreTurning much colder this week, rather breezy at times.
Largely fine with plenty of sunshine but noticably colder than of late, especially in the east with brisk northerly winds. A few early showers clipping parts of Kent, otherwise a dry day expected across the region. Maximum temperature 9 °C.
Dry, clear and cold tonight with winds becoming light. A frost possible by the morning, most likely in rural western areas. Minimum temperature 1 °C.
Variable cloud through the morning after a chilly start, but mainly dry. Brighter for a time during the afternoon, then cloud and occasional rain spreads southeast towards the evening. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Areas of rain clearing southeast on Wednesday with strong winds developing. Drier and brighter Thursday and Friday with widespread overnight frosts. Rather breezy on Thursday but winds lighter by Friday.
Updated:
A widespread and in places sharp frost to begin Friday. Then a transition during the day to less cold and more generally unsettled conditions as Atlantic weather fronts make inroads into the UK. These will bring spells of rain potentially quite widely, though the wettest conditions through the latter part of November may occur across more southern areas. There is also the potential for some windy weather to develop at times, again this perhaps more likely further to the south. Compared to the preceding few days, a reduced likelihood of snowfall, though some upland snow remains possible in the north. Temperatures probably returning closer to average, generally speaking, for late November, and perhaps becoming mild at times in the south.
Updated:
Whilst there is a lot of uncertainty as to the flavour of weather affecting the UK into December, there is a greater chance than normal of slower evolving weather patterns. A mixture of weather types seems most likely and so some wetter days, with widespread rain or showers and the chance of snow, mainly for higher ground in the north. Equally some drier periods are also anticipated, increasing the possibility of some frosty nights and fog. Overall, temperatures close to average are most likely, but some colder spells are also possible, especially if any prolonged settled spells develop.
