Wintry showers easing in the northeast. Widely frosty in the north and east with freezing fog patches. Meanwhile, rain in the west edging slowly east, with some snow in north.
Bright spells in the north but with showers, mainly northern and western Scotland where some wintry. Turning wet and windy further south with snow, especially on hills. Coastal gales developing.
Wind, rain and snow associated with storm Goretti clearing eastwards on Friday. Mostly fine on Saturday. Frost early and late. Further wet and windy weather, with some snow arriving Sunday.
Updated:
A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.
Updated:
The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
