South West England
Cloudy, cool, but mostly dry. Some hill fog in places.
- Dry for many overnight, with clear spells developing, allowing some mist, fog and frost patches to form in rural parts by dawn
- Remaining cloudy for some with hill fog persisting across the higher ground
- Light winds for all
- Minimum Temperature 0C
Tuesday:
- Early morning mist and fog lift to give a dry and settled day
- Dry with more prolonged spells of sunshine than Monday and temperatures recovering slightly
- Light winds
- Maximum Temperature 8C
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
- Cloudy with showery rain on Wednesday, and feeling chilly with fog and frost developing overnight
- Turning increasingly wet and windy from Thursday with gales and heavy rain likely by Friday
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
