UK weather

Headline:

Dry with sunny spells, after a foggy start for some.

Today:

Thursday will be mainly dry with some sunny spells after any morning low cloud and patchy fog clears. A mild day for most, though rather breezy in the west, where a few showers are possible near the coast.

Tonight:

Dry with variable cloud and clear spells. Fog developing across central and eastern parts of England. Rather windy in the far north and west, with outbreaks of rain possible later.

Friday:

Areas of mist and fog slow to lift and clear. Otherwise dry with variable cloud and sunny spells. A band of rain moving into the far northwest later.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Lots of fine weather. Sunny spells, with overnight fog patches. However, a weakening band of rain will move southeast across Scotland and Northern Ireland, reaching England and Wales by Sunday.

High pressure is set to dominate the UK through the first week of this period, bringing a lot of dry weather. Cloud amounts will be variable and though there should be some sunshine by day, some locations will likely see areas of fog, which once formed, could be slow to clear or possibly linger all day. For most, temperatures look to be fairly close average, though it will remain cold where any fog sticks around. Some overnight frost is likely where skies are clear and winds light. By the end of this period, there is a signal for more unsettled or changeable conditions to return, albeit with uncertain details surrounding this.

An increasing chance of more unsettled conditions developing through the latter half of November, with a return to spells of rain and the potential for strong winds at times. However, the extent and location of the wettest and/or windiest areas is quite uncertain. Overall, temperatures will probably be near or a little above average.
