Rain and snow clearing to heavy blustery showers.
A wet and windy start to the morning, with outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. Staying unsettled through much of the day, but gradually turning milder as heavy and blustery showers continue to move in from the west.
Rain clearing eastern areas through the evening, but for many heavy showers will continue through much of the night. Some snow possible over the highest hills in the north.
A day of sunny spells and showers. Some of the showers will be heavy at times, with the risk of some hail and thunder. Snow showers in the far north.
Drier on Tuesday, with sunny spells. An increasing risk of rain and perhaps some hill snow on Wednesday and into Thursday in the south. Mostly dry elsewhere. Frosty nights.
Updated:
Showers or longer spells of rain, as well as occasional strong winds, are most likely at first as Atlantic low pressure systems dominate in the vicinity of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely in places, with some snow probable at times, mainly on high ground in the north. Temperatures varying from around, or a little above, average especially in the south to cold at times, mainly in the north. Although unsettled weather is likely to dominate at first, there will be some drier interludes between weather systems. These drier interludes will become increasingly likely and perhaps more prolonged through the period.
Updated:
Low confidence in the dominant weather patterns during this period. There are signals for both unsettled conditions, bringing a risk of some heavy rain and possibly strong winds, but also periods of drier, more settled weather, which may mean slightly colder conditions. The more settled pattern is looking slightly more probable early in this period, with more unsettled conditions currently looking slightly more probable come the end of the period.
