London & South East England weather forecast
Headline:
Cold but fine with some sunshine.
Today:
Fine and frosty to start, with some areas of fog and freezing fog. The fog should gradually clear during the morning, to reveal a cold but dry day, with plenty of sunshine and light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Tonight:
Dry during the evening and overnight, with winds remaining light. Clear spells should allow temperatures to dip once again, leading to frost and areas of fog or freezing fog. Minimum temperature -5 °C.
Tuesday:
Another cold day, especially at first in areas of fog and freezing fog that may be slow to clear. Otherwise, fine with plenty of sunshine and light winds once again. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Remaining mainly dry during this period. Some clear or sunny spells are still likely, but on the whole it should become cloudier and a little less cold, with limited frost.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
Into the weekend, it will be staying cloudy for most with a risk of light rain or drizzle at times. However, it is expected to be largely dry and settled with bright spells and light winds. This will continue for the south further into the following week, whilst the north could be wetter and windier at times. Later on in this period, some rain may briefly spread further southeast across the UK, although the most unsettled weather is likely to remain in the north and northwest, where some hill snow is possible. Further southeast drier spells will be accompanied by the best of any brightness, along with the greatest risk of fog and frost. Temperatures will generally be near average, although a little below at times in the north.
Updated:
Through the first half of February, we are likely to see a north/south split continuing; with the north being more unsettled than the south. The heaviest of the rainfall and strongest winds are likely to be seen across the northwest. The south is more likely to see drier, brighter conditions with light winds. There is potentially a greater risk of frost and fog patches developing towards the south. During colder, showery interludes, any snow will most likely be over higher ground in the north, but it could fall to lower levels at times. Temperatures will remain close to or above average through the period, though will likely fluctuate as frontal systems pass through, especially in the north.
