Carbon-dioxide will continue to build up in the atmosphere in 2023 due to ongoing emissions.
Read moreClear spells at first in north with showers easing. Mostly cloudy and frost-free in the south with spots of rain possible. Becoming cloudier and windier in the far north with some rain here later.
Cloudy for many but England and Wales mostly dry, some sunshine in the Midlands. Windier in the north with rain moving across Scotland and Northern Ireland later. Mild in shelter.
Changeable with bands of rain alternating with brighter periods and wintry showers. Most of the rain in the northwest, very little in the southeast. Often windy, especially Tuesday. Temperatures normal.
On Thursday, cloud and outbreaks of rain will slowly move across the north of the UK, with heavier bursts for the northwest at first, while the south is more likely to stay dry with sunny intervals. Strong winds will mainly confine to the north early in the day. Towards the weekend and into next week, uncertainty is high regarding a regional split of conditions. The most likely scenario brings showers, longer spells of rain and strong winds to the north, with the wettest conditions in the northwest. The south is more likely to remain largely dry with lighter winds. Temperatures are expected to remain near to or slightly above average for most, although clearer conditions bring a risk of overnight fog and frost for the south.
While uncertain, a continuation of the regional divide between the north and south is expected as the broad theme for this period. Unsettled conditions are more likely to dominate in the north while the south remains settled and drier. A spell of more widely spread wet and windy weather is likely to persist for several days across all areas, although wettest conditions will focus in the west. Temperatures are most likely to remain around average or above.
