Sunny start. Cloudy and windy with light rain later. Cold.
A cold and dry start to the day, with plenty of sunshine. Wind strengthening as the day goes on, exacerbating the cold feel. Cloud thickening during the afternoon, with some patchy light rain, this falling as snow on high ground. Maximum temperature 4 °C.
Cloudy this evening with some light rain, falling as snow on high ground. This moving away southwards overnight, with skies clearing, temperatures dropping and risk of icy patches developing. Windy. Minimum temperature -2 °C.
A mostly dry and sunny day on Thursday. Strong winds, especially on coasts, making it feel very cold. Risk of coastal wintry showers, but these may stay just offshore. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Cold, mostly dry and sunny, although coastal wintry showers are possible throughout. Strong winds making it feel very cold, easing during Sunday.
Updated:
Cold northerly winds dominant across the UK in the first week of January. These will bring wintry showers (often of snow) to many coastlines (and areas just inland of these) that are exposed to onshore winds. Day-to-day changes in wind direction will change the places most exposed to the showers, but many inland locations across central and southern areas will remain mostly dry but cold - some more coherent bands of rain, sleet and snow working south at times. Into the second week of January slightly milder conditions will attempt to move in from the west, with a risk of further snow on the leading edge of these turning to rain. Colder regime more likely to the north with average to just below average in the south.
Updated:
Whilst confidence in details is low, by the start of this period the transition back to westerly winds bringing Atlantic weather systems into the UK is expected to be complete, with temperatures most likely recovering to around or just below average. There is perhaps a weak signal for slowly evolving weather patterns to be more favoured than normal, such patterns increase the chances of frost and fog above normal by night.
