An easterly or south-easterly wind is likely, with cold and cloudy weather continuing at first. Atlantic Low pressure however is inching closer to the British Isles, with bands of rain gradually moving into western parts. It is also possible that this might fall as snow initially as precipitation initially runs into resident cold air. Eastern areas of the country will hold on to relatively drier conditions for longer, but it will still feel cold under the cloud and wind. It is possible however that the cold, cloudy easterly or south-easterly theme continues. Eventually though it is thought that low pressure will push frontal bands of rain across much of the UK by the end of the week, with wind and rain becoming the dominant feature of the weather.

An unsettled theme will probably have become established by this time, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK from the Atlantic. This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes. Temperatures are most likely to be close to average overall.
