Unsettled and generally mild at first with showers or longer spells of rain affecting the UK at times. Some heavy rain is possible anywhere, but it is likely to be heaviest and most persistent in the west and northwest, with sheltered parts of the east and southeast typically drier. Any snow will probably be confined to high ground in the north. Strong winds are possible at times with a risk of gales, especially along coasts and over higher ground. During the period, conditions are likely to become more settled, with rainfall amounts decreasing and drier weather becoming more prevalent. This may mean an increasing amount of overnight fog and frost, with temperatures overall dropping to around average, but it will be chilly if or where any fog persists.

High pressure will probably become more influential across the UK during this period. This means an increasing likelihood of dry weather compared to the winter so far. Spells of rain and strong winds remain possible at times, these most likely in the north with a risk of some snow, mainly over higher ground. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal overall.
