East Midlands

Tuesday, generally rather cloudy, patchy rain across the north.

  • Remaining generally cloudy for most, although a few brighter intervals may develop in the south
  • Outbreaks of light rain or drizzle at times across northern parts, with hill fog patches
  • Maximum Temperature 7C

Tonight:

  • Cloud and outbreaks of light rain persisting across northern parts, with hill fog patches
  • Elsewhere, also generally cloudy, with any clearer breaks allowing patchy fog to form
  • Minimum Temperature 2C

Wednesday:

  • Cloud and patchy rain or drizzle through the morning, but drier and brighter conditions will slowly extend southeast later to leave a largely dry evening with clear spells
  • Maximum Temperature 5C

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

  • Thursday, frosty start with patchy fog
  • Rain band and stronger winds moving east, clearer later
  • Very windy Friday, turning brighter after a wet start, with strong winds easing into Saturday

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time
  • Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream
  • 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 normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too

UK Week 3 and 4

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