A largely cloudy start to this period, with perhaps some isolated fog forming under clear skies in the south, otherwise largely dry and fine here. A risk of some patchy rain in the far west, however, likely to be brighter in the east. A band of rain arrives later into the northwest, accompanied by some stronger winds, tracking southeastwards, with blustery showers following into the northwest, before returning settled by the end of the week. Temperatures likely to be close to average in the south, whereas milder in the north. Settled conditions looking to continue to dominate through the remainder of January, however, rain or showers at times for the north and northwest, with occasional strong winds here. Heading into February there is an increasing likelihood of more unsettled conditions.

Early February is likely to see a continuation of a north/south split with more settled and cloudy weather expected in the south, and generally drier than average, while the north will be more changeable, milder, with some spells of rain. There is an increased likelihood of more unsettled conditions becoming established, with the northwest likely to be the wettest area, but showers or longer spells of rain may spread to most areas at times, with the southeast likely to be the driest. Spells of strong winds are likely to develop more widely at times. Temperatures likely to be near or slightly above average although short lived colder interludes are possible. Any snow likely to be restricted to high ground in the north.
