Today:

A mostly cloudy start, especially across southern and western areas. Breezy with rain and sleet in southern parts, turning to snow on hills. Brightening up during the afternoon. Elsewhere fine, with sunny spells. Staying cold across the region. Maximum Temperature 4C.

Tonight:

A largely dry night with clear spells, perhaps the odd wintry shower in northern parts. A cold night with icy stretches possible where it has been wet. Wind strengthening overnight. Minimum Temperature -2C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Becoming very windy Saturday with much milder air arriving and bringing heavy rain, this clearing later Sunday. Remaining windy on Monday with showers, but slightly cooler than Sunday.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 26 Nov 2024 to Thursday 5 Dec 2024:

An unsettled start, with rain or showers in places, and perhaps also some strong winds for a time. Temperatures back towards average for most places, but still mild in the southeast. High pressure is likely to build for a time, particularly across northern areas, bringing an increased risk of some fog and frost. However, this is likely to migrate eastwards during the second half of next week, potentially allowing some outbreaks of rain to move into some western and perhaps southern areas. 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.
