An unsettled end to the weekend.
Clear spells to begin across the central swathe after mist and fog clears. Rain, sometimes heavy, will move into the southwest during the day, reaching the northeast by the evening. Drier in the southwest later. Breezy but mild.
Cloud and rain lingering across northeastern Scotland, becoming confined to the northern isles later. Dry with clear spells elsewhere, but heavy showers in the west during the early hours.
Showers continuing across northwestern England and western Scotland. Sunny spells for much of England and Wales in afternoon. Blustery winds, with cloud and rain approaching the southwest later.
Very wet and windy weather expected for Tuesday and into Wednesday, with western Scotland seeing gale force winds. A brief settled period on Thursday. Mild throughout.
Updated:
A continuation of a similar pattern to that seen through early December is anticipated, especially at first, as frontal systems from the Atlantic spread into and across the UK, interspersed with some temporary drier interludes. These will bring occasional spells of rain, which may be heavy at times bringing the risk of some impacts given how wet it has been lately. In addition, there may also be potential for some periods of strong winds at times too. Whilst it will often be mild, later in the period there may be a transition for temperatures to return closer to average, with a slightly higher chance of some wintry hazards across northern parts of the UK, especially on high ground.
Updated:
Changeable conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK and some hill snow in the north. Periods of strong wind are also possible, especially around coasts. Some drier, more settled spells are possible but how long these last is very uncertain. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly above overall.
