Conditions possibly staying fine with dry and sunny intervals across some central and eastern areas on Monday, but soon a trend towards more unsettled conditions widely across the UK is likely through the beginning of next week. Spells of rain and showers will spread in from the west, with some snow possible on northern high ground. However, there may also be some drier and brighter interludes at times. Throughout this period there is a potential for windy conditions, with the strongest winds most likely to occur in the west and northwest of the UK. Temperatures are expected to trend close to average, although some overnight frosts are possible, mainly in northern parts of the country.

Into the latter part of March unsettled conditions perhaps becoming more confined to the north and west with the south and east seeing more settled conditions. Temperatures are most likely to remain near to or slightly above average, with any colder intervals from the north short lived.
