UK weather

Headline:

A foggy weekend for some. Dry for many next week.

Today:

Starting murky for many with fog and low cloud lingering well into the day in places. Turning sunnier for most but cloudier and occasionally wetter in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Feeling pleasant in the sunny intervals and light winds.

Tonight:

Fog patches reforming tonight for England and parts of Wales. Cloudier in the north with outbreaks of light rain sinking into northern England and Wales. Showers behind and feeling colder.

Sunday:

A foggy start for England and Wales, slowly clearing during late morning for most. Cloudier for northern England and Wales with rain pushing southwards. Sunnier for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Staying generally dry with sunny spells. Chance of some heavier showers on Monday in the southeast and cloudier on Tuesday with a few showers. Temperatures close to average.

High pressure will dominate across the UK early in this period, bringing a lot of dry weather. Some places may start foggy, mainly in the north, this slow to clear and possibly even lingering all day. Elsewhere, cloud amounts will be variable, but there should be some sunshine. Cloud is likely to be thick enough at times for a few mainly light showers or some drizzle though. For most, temperatures are likely to be close to normal, though it will be chilly where any fog lingers, and in the breezier south. Some overnight frost is likely where skies are clear and winds remain light. As we head into the following week, there are signs that more unsettled but potentially milder weather may return, but confidence surrounding this change is low.

During the second half of November, there is an increasing chance of changeable or more unsettled conditions developing, which would mean spells of rain and the potential for strong winds at times. The extent and location of the wettest and/or windiest areas are very uncertain at this range, with the wettest and windiest weather probably towards the north and west, but there are hints that overall the south may be wetter than normal whilst the northwest is a little drier than normal, suggesting the possibility that areas of low pressure may be steered further south than normal. Overall, temperatures will probably be near or a little above normal, although brief colder interludes are also possible with some overnight frost.
