Warnings have been issued as the weather across the UK becomes increasingly mild but wet and windy.
Read moreRather cloudy with occasional rain, some brightness in north
Some bright or sunny spells around Inverness and up into Caithness and Sutherland, but generally a rather cloudy day with rain at times. The rain becoming increasingly confined to the far west through the afternoon. Very mild with southerly winds. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
Remaining rather cloudy in west with patchy rain through the evening and overnight, with, especially in the east, some clearer spells, and a few mist patches, developing. Mainly light winds. Minimum temperature 6 °C.
A little early rain in west but generally a dry morning with some bright or sunny spells. Becoming cloudier in afternoon with occasionally heavy rain spreading north across eastern parts. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Saturday and Sunday, largely dry mornings with sunny spells but outbreaks of rain spreading northeast in afternoons. Monday looks largely dry, although a few heavy showers possible in west.
Updated:
The start of this period is likely to be largely unsettled and mostly mild, with bands or areas of rain moving across most parts of the UK, although tending to be focused more on western and possibly southern parts. Locally strong winds may also accompany some of the rain. Some drier spells are also likely, the best of these probably towards the east and possibly the north. Where skies are clear and winds light overnight, frost and fog are likely, the fog slow to clear. From around the middle of the month, we may see a transition towards more generally drier weather across the UK, and with this it is likely to turn a little cooler overall, with a greater risk of overnight frost.
Updated:
Whilst the expected weather patterns during late November are very uncertain, there is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the current weather pattern, which also increases the chances of overnight fog and frost. There will probably still be some spells of rain, showers, and stronger winds though, especially in the west. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
