• Frontal systems may affect some parts of the UK though, these more likely towards the northwest of the UK, bringing some rain and windier conditions here

• Northern parts are more-likely to be unsettled but milder
• This pattern will likely spread across the whole UK by the end of the period, leading to milder conditions with periods of rain and strong winds more widely
