Mainly dry today. Frost tonight.
Chance of a brief light shower across the north and east at first this morning. Otherwise it will be dry with variable amounts of cloud and some bright intervals. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
This evening will be dry. Then the rest of the night will remain dry with some lengthy clear periods and a frost. The north and east cloudier at times. Minimum temperature -5 °C.
It will be a largely dry and cold day with some sunny spells, best of the sunshine in the south. Showery rain spreading to the far north in the evening. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Cloudy, breezy on Wednesday with showers across the west, drier in the east. Bitterly cold northwesterly winds will bring snow showers on Thursday and Friday, most frequent in the north.
Updated:
Cold northerly winds, initially across Scotland are now expected to become dominant across the whole 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. Subtle day-to-day changes in wind direction from northeast to northwest will change the places most exposed to the showers, but many inland locations across central and southern areas will remain mostly dry but cold. There are likely to be some more coherent bands of rain, sleet and snow working south, and these may bring a risk of more prolonged wintry precipitation affecting some inland areas. Towards the second half of this period, slightly milder conditions will attempt to move in from the west.
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 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.
