Briefly dry with clear spells in the evening but outbreaks of rain spread north from late evening, persistent and heavy at times. Windy and milder than of late. Minimum Temperature 1C.

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.
