Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times will move east overnight, as winds continue to strengthen with gales and later severe gales develop, near coasts as Storm Darragh arrives. Mild Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Turning colder on Sunday with sunny spells and the odd shower. Monday and Tuesday will be drier and brighter as high pressure builds.

High pressure looks like dominating the UK's weather at first, bringing plenty of dry but rather cold weather. Cloud amounts will be variable, but some clear or sunny spells are likely. Overnight frosts along with fog patches are probable for some regions, with the fog being slow to clear. Later next week or next weekend, conditions may turn more unsettled for a while, with a chance of stronger winds and some rain moving southeast. Through to the end of this period, there is an increased chance of spells of wetter and windier weather returning, these more likely towards the north with southern areas having a better chance of more prolonged drier, settled weather. Temperatures varying around average with both some colder and milder spells likely through this period.

Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially towards the north or northwest. Some sleet and snow is also possible at times, especially on high ground in the north. However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog.
