Storm Bert to bring possible disruption this weekend.

Today:

Storm Bert bringing a widely unsettled and potentially disruptive day with heavy, persistent rain, hill snow and gales, severe along coasts. Turning noticeably milder, resulting in a rapid melt of lying snow. Maximum Temperature 12C.

Tonight:

Remaining unsettled this evening and overnight with further spells of heavy rain, becoming persistent for a time by dawn. Staying very windy but generally mild. Minimum Temperature 8C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Sunshine and showers through Monday, these becoming less frequent on Tuesday. Possible rain in the south on Wednesday. Strongest winds easing with temperatures returning closer to the seasonal average.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 27 Nov 2024 to Friday 6 Dec 2024:

Probably a quieter interlude to start this period for much of the UK as high pressure builds across the north with a return of night frosts. However there is still a risk of some rain across southern parts of the country on Wednesday, although the northern extent of this is uncertain. The high is likely to migrate eastwards during the second half of next week, potentially allowing some outbreaks of rain to move into some some northwestern areas along with some stronger winds. Into December, and while signals are mixed it looks most likely that high pressure may re-assert itself close to or over the UK, with temperatures generally near average, but some overnight frost is likely, and rather cold by day where any fog persists.
