On Sunday, any early rain in the southeast soon clearing. Many areas then dry with variable cloud. Showers are likely for some eastern areas, as well as the far north where they will increasingly fall as snow to low levels. Winds moderate, though easing in the southwest. Temperatures near normal to rather cold in the north. Later, remaining unsettled, at least at first, but with wettest conditions likely affecting northern areas through the end of March. Southern and eastern areas are likely to be drier, but even here, some showers or spells of rain are likely. Some strong winds are likely, with a low risk of gales, mainly for western areas. Temperatures generally above normal, though with colder conditions possible in the far north and northeast at first.

A general trend to less unsettled conditions is likely into April. Still some wetter weather at times, with occasional showers, which could be heavy or thundery. However, most areas are likely to see some spells of dry weather, with potentially frost and some fog overnight. The chances of strong winds are probably lower than normal, and whilst temperatures are likely to generally be near to slightly above normal, cooler spells remain possible.
