Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

  • Cold and mostly cloudy through this period, with rain or showers at times, these sometimes wintry especially on higher ground
  • Occasionally windy, accentuating the cold feel

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • High pressure is expected to be slow moving and centred to the northeast of the UK at the start of this period
  • As a result, east or southeasterly winds will dominate, these bringing below-normal temperatures across the UK from mainland Europe
  • Some rain and hill snow is likely at times, particularly across the east of the UK, with the best of any sunny periods probably in the west
  • It will be breezy around coasts, but the risk of any very strong winds is low
  • During the second half of this period, a change to milder and more unsettled conditions will probably begin to occur
  • Exactly how this manifests is uncertain, but there will be an increasing chance of rain and strong winds spreading from the Atlantic across the UK

UK Week 3 and 4

  • A mobile pattern, will probably have become established by this time, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK from the Atlantic
  • This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes
  • Temperatures are most likely to be close to average overall
