Headline:
Mainly cloudy, but with a few clearer spells.

Saturday:
On the cloudy side for most, although a few developing cloud breaks may reveal some limited bright or sunny intervals later. A little drizzle remains possible from thicker cloud. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Wet and windy for a time Sunday, introducing clearer but colder conditions into the new working week, with blustery wintry showers making a return.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
At the start of the period, there will be rain spreading across the north, with some hill snow at times. Potential for some gales in the northwest. Breezy with showers in the south, with the brightest weather mostly in the east. Continuing through the period, a mobile westerly pattern will lead to some changeable weather. Spells of rain and strong winds, with possible gales, will continue across the UK. There could also be some brighter and colder periods at times, with some lighter showers. Any snow during the period will be confined to the northerly hills. Temperatures will fluctuate from mild to cold. Towards the end of the period, the changeable weather will continue, but a northwest-southeast split will begin to develop.
Updated:
Early February will see the northwest-southeast split continuing, with the northwest seeing the unsettled weather, with the southeast remaining drier. Into the middle of the month, it is likely to trend to more anticyclonic conditions, with drier weather across the south and southeast, eventually spreading northwestwards. The north will continue to be at risk of outbreaks of rain and stronger winds at times. Overnight fog and frosts will be likely, and these could be persistent at times. Temperatures around normal, and sometimes above. There could be large diurnal ranges in the more settled periods, given enough sunshine.
