UK weather

Headline:

A foggy start to the new week for many.

This Evening and Tonight:

Tonight, any light showers further north will dissipate, leaving clear skies. Under light winds, fog will soon redevelop in prone locations, particulalry further south. A cold night ahead, with frost and many places falling below freezing.

Monday:

A bright start for many, although fog may linger for some. Winds will freshen in the southwest as cloud thickens and rain arrives later. Elsewhere, light winds with sunny spells.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Fog clears to sunny spells, before rain spreads northeastwards Tuesday, clearing by morning. Milder in the south, cooler further north with strong coastal winds and wintery showers in the north.

High pressure will initially dominate, leading to widely settled conditions and overnight frost. A few showers will be possible, particularly in northern and western Scotland, and perhaps along some North Sea coasts for a time. Later in the weekend, a transition to more unsettled conditions is expected as bands of rain, and associated areas of low pressure, arrive from the North Atlantic, bringing more widespread wet and windy weather. It is likely to remain fairly changeable through the remainder of the period, with occasional rain interspersed with brighter, showery spells. Whilst colder conditions will be possible at times, especially at first, it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average for the time of year.

Changeable or unsettled conditions are expected through late November and into early December, as Atlantic frontal systems track close to or across the UK at times. These will bring periods of rain and strong winds, interspersed with brighter, more showery interludes. Temperatures will often be mild, particularly away from the far northwest where brief colder interludes are possible. Although confidence is low, there may be a tendency for the track of low pressure systems to shift southwards later in the period. In this scenario, rain will still be possible at times across central and southern parts of the UK, while more northern areas may become somewhat drier and perhaps colder.
