A wet and windy start as a band of rain continues to push northeastwards bringing prolonged and heavy downpours, accompanied by strong winds. Some bright and drier spells emerge through the afternoon. Feeling milder than recent days. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining mostly clear and dry overnight with some patchy cloud, however, from midnight occasional heavy showers feed in from the west, these perhaps blustery and carry a chance of thunder. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Monday:

A largely fine and dry day, though often breezy with the odd heavy shower. Turning increasingly cloudy with strengthening winds overnight as a band of heavy rain spreads northeastwards. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Heavy rain and strong winds on Tuesday, with gales likely, though some brighter spells through the afternoon. Wednesday brings occasional showers and sunny spells, before turning briefly settled on Thursday.

A continuation of a similar pattern to that seen through early December is anticipated, especially at first, as frontal systems from the Atlantic spread into and across the UK, interspersed with some temporary drier interludes. These will bring occasional spells of rain, which may be heavy at times bringing the risk of some impacts given how wet it has been lately. In addition, there may also be potential for some periods of strong winds at times too. Whilst it will often be mild, later in the period there may be a transition for temperatures to return closer to average, with a slightly higher chance of some wintry hazards across northern parts of the UK, especially on high ground.

Changeable conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK and some hill snow in the north. Periods of strong wind are also possible, especially around coasts. Some drier, more settled spells are possible but how long these last is very uncertain. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly above overall.
