UK 5 day weather forecast
Headline:
Staying unsettled through to the end of the week.
Today:
Foggy and frosty start for some in the southeast. Rain arriving from the northwest, heavy at times and accompanied by coastal gales. Mild air accompanying this in the west but remaining chilly in the east.
Tonight:
The rain continues pushing southeastwards tonight. Clear spells follow behind along with blustery, and potentially thundery, showers in the northwest. Patchy frost possible across Scotland; milder where cloud persists.
Thursday:
Bright spells in the north to begin, but pulses of rain spread northwards throughout Thursday, particularly heavy across southern England and Wales. Gales again possible in association with this.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Blustery showers across northern areas on Friday; drier in the south. Rain affecting western regions on Saturday, with eastern parts this time driest. Mostly cloudy on Sunday with patchy rain.

UK long range weather forecast
Unsettled conditions are likely to continue at first, with low pressure probably centred somewhere to the southwest of the UK, whilst high pressure tries to nose in from the east across northern areas. This means a broadly easterly flow becoming established, whilst periods of rain or showers becoming increasingly confined to southern or southwestern parts. With time, high pressure is signalled to become rather more dominant with more in the way dry, settled weather anticipated. With this, temperatures will probably lower a little compared to recent weeks, closer to or perhaps a little below average for some. Overnight frost and fog or freezing fog could become more widespread, though any particularly cold conditions look unlikely at this stage.
Updated:
High pressure is fairly likely to be close by to the UK at the start of this period, though its exact position is rather more uncertain. This means a continuation of predominantly settled and dry weather for many, albeit with the potential for overnight frost and fog. With colder air likely near to or over the UK, the chance of wintry hazards is higher than in previous weeks. Towards mid-month, there is the potential for rather more changeable conditions to become re-established, although confidence in this aspect of the forecast is currently low.
