UK weather

Headline:

Thick morning fog, but bright autumnal sunshine later.

Today:

Fog across southern UK will slowly clear, lingering into early afternoon in places. Showers continue near Irish Sea and North Sea coasts, while rain and drizzle fade in northern England. Brighter for many, though locally chilly where fog persists.

Tonight:

Largely dry with variable cloud and a few eastern showers. Fog may become dense overnight, with patchy frost. Winds strengthen in the far southwest, where it turns milder later.

Monday:

Mist and fog may be slow to clear, especially in central areas. Isolated coastal showers. Turning cloudier in the southwest with rain later. Temperatures near normal, though cold in places.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Dry starts with some fog and sunshine, before rain spreads north Tuesday. Rain clears southwards later, followed by brighter, colder weather with isolated northern wintry showers and strong coastal winds.

At the start of this period, outbreaks of rain across the south of the UK will clear away as clearer conditions spread from the north. A few wintry showers are likely in the far north, but otherwise this will mean a spell of fine and dry weather developing for most areas at the end of next week and the weekend. Over the following week, a change to more changeable weather is likely, with Atlantic frontal systems bringing rain and some strong winds. After a cold start, temperatures will probably be above average overall.

Changeable or unsettled conditions are expected through the last part of November. Atlantic frontal system are likely to spread across the UK, bringing some heavy rain at times and a chance of strong winds. Drier, brighter interludes are likely between systems, and it is possible conditions could become drier overall into early December. Temperatures are likely to be above normal overall.
