UK weather

Headline:

Icy stretches overnight. Sunny Monday, turning wet and windy later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Rain and showers moving to the east this evening, leaving clear spells and wintry showers, these mostly in northern Scotland. Temperatures falling way, below freezing in the north with a widespread rural frost and icy stretches.

Monday:

A cold start with showers in the north and east easing leaving sunny spells. Sunshine turning hazy into the afternoon with rain and stronger winds moving into the southwest later.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Changeable over the next few days with the risk of hill snow for North Wales, northern England and Scotland. Staying cold but temperature returning to average in the south.

A changeable pattern is likely during this period with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK. This means spells of rain and perhaps strong winds will move over the UK at times, with cooler, drier interludes between systems. Rainfall will probably be most frequent in parts of the south and west and some snow is likely in the north at times. Temperatures are expected to be near normal overall, mildest in the south and coldest in the north.

The tracks of low pressure systems will likely track farther farther south than normal during this period. This means that rainfall will probably be focussed across the south of the UK; conversely, higher pressure to the north means drier conditions here. Temperatures in the south will probably be near normal or perhaps slightly above at times, with the north colder than normal.
