This Evening and Tonight:

Dry during the evening, with some frost and local fog patches developing under lasting clearer spells. Perhaps becoming more generally cloudy from the north to end the night, with the odd spot of rain possible. Light winds throughout. Minimum Temperature -1C.

Wednesday:

On the cloudy side at first, but most areas eventually seeing some sunshine. This sunshine then becoming hazier from the west later, ahead of overnight wind and rain. Maximum Temperature 8C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Less cold but unsettled, with a succession of weather systems bearing wet and often windy weather sweeping through eastwards. Potential for some disruption, especially Friday into Saturday.

UK Outlook for Sunday 8 Dec 2024 to Tuesday 17 Dec 2024:

Winds increasing from the north into Sunday likely to bring cold temperatures and blustery showers through Sunday with some sleet or small hail possible along windward coasts. High pressure then very likely to have increasing influence into the following week with more settled conditions becoming established for a time, though a showery easterly possible in the south. This should mean a good deal of dry weather with overnight frosts along with morning fog patches for some regions. Through to the end of this period there is an increased chance of spells of wetter and windier weather returning, these more likely in the north with southern areas having a better chance of more prolonged settled/drier weather. Temperatures varying around average with both some colder and milder spells likely through this period.
