London & South East England weather forecast

Very cold with clear spells and widespread frost. Wintry showers into eastern coastal areas increasingly staying offshore, with some icy patches possible on untreated surfaces. Freezing fog patches developing inland. Minimum temperature -4 °C.

Saturday:

Another very cold, frosty morning with freezing fog patches slow to clear. Staying cold, and most parts dry with sunny spells. Winds remaining light. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cold start Sunday, with chance of rain, perhaps brief hill snow, spreading east. Monday and Tuesday uncertain, but likely turning a little less cold, with rain and strong winds possible.

Updated:

UK long range weather forecast

A fair amount of uncertainty at the start of this period as milder and more generally unsettled conditions across the south and west try and extend further north and east through the week. It is likely that northern and perhaps some eastern areas remain cold with further overnight frost and fog patches, then clear or sunny spells and wintry showers in places. Elsewhere, milder, or at least less cold weather than the preceding days, with areas of rain and stronger winds, more especially in the west, this erratically spreading further north and east with time. Moving towards mid December and more generally unsettled and milder conditions look most probable with any colder interludes likely to be short-lived.

Updated:

Conditions are most likely to be changeable through this period. Wetter and windier than average conditions are slightly more likely than normal, especially in the west and northwest. Temperatures are most likely to be near or above average overall, although this doesn't rule out some spells of cold weather and associated wintry hazards, though the chances of any prolonged spells of cold weather are low.
