South East England

Cold Friday. Storm Bert bringing stormy weather into the weekend.

  • A largely dry night with clear spells, perhaps the odd wintry shower in northern parts
  • A cold night with icy stretches possible where it has been wet
  • Wind strengthening
  • Minimum Temperature -3C

Friday:

  • Cold, bright and mostly dry
  • Some isolated wintry showers remain possible in northern areas through the morning
  • Wind easing
  • Maximum Temperature 5C

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

  • Becoming very wet and windy Saturday with Storm Bert bringing some spells of heavy rain as milder air arrives
  • Milder Sunday and Monday, windy with further rain and showers

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • An unsettled start, with rain or showers in places, and perhaps also some strong winds for a time
  • Temperatures back towards average for most places, but still mild in the southeast
  • High pressure is likely to build for a time, particularly across northern areas, bringing an increased risk of some fog and frost
  • However, this is likely to migrate eastwards during the second half of next week, potentially allowing some outbreaks of rain to move into some western and perhaps southern areas
  • Into December, and while signals are mixed it looks most likely that high pressure may re-assert itself close to or over the UK, with temperatures generally near average, but some overnight frost is likely, and rather cold by day where any fog persists

UK Week 3 and 4

  • The start of this period looks like being largely settled, with high pressure close to if not over the UK
  • However
  • there is also a chance of more changeable weather patterns, which would see Atlantic weather systems periodically move across the country
  • These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills in the north
  • These conditions look more likely to dominate towards the middle of December
  • Temperatures generally close to average through the period
