  • High pressure is likely to lie close to southern UK initially, with generally settled conditions prevailing across the south
  • Cloud amounts will be variable and often large, with some fog developing under clearer spells, especially in the south
  • Frontal systems will spread from the northwest of the UK, bringing some rain and windier conditions here
  • These spreading further south at times with windier conditions and frontal bands of rain making more progress across the whole of the UK from next week with the potential for deeper lows with stronger winds to approach the UK
  • Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, falling to around average into next week, though the south or east may see the odd rather cold start under clear skies and lighter winds

  • High pressure likely to dominate, especially in the south, bringing quiet, grey, and cool 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
