Cold Friday before Storm Bert arrives this weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

Largely dry with clear skies to start this evening, then wintry showers pushing into northern areas overnight, bringing a risk of icy stretches on untreated surfaces. Frost forming under the clearest skies, mostly in the south. Breezy. Minimum Temperature -2C.

Friday:

Wintry flurries to start, gradually fading during the day with sunny spells for many in the afternoon. Another cold day, though winds easing later on. Maximum Temperature 5C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Wet and windy on Saturday as Storm Bert brings heavy persistent rain, and snow over the hills. Rain clearing through Sunday with showers and brighter spells on Monday. Noticeably milder.

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.
