Sunny spells today, showers in the south and west.
Sunny spells for many today, but scattered showers will develop in the south and west. Showers could be heavy with hail and thunder at times. A breezy day and feeling colder than on Monday.
Showers will spread north this evening, with a risk of some icy stretches. Turning chilly under clear spells with a patchy frost developing, particularly in the north.
Sunshine and showers for many, with some heavy downpours at times. Generally drier in the east with some sunshine. Winds a little lighter and feeling chilly.
Further spells of rain and showers will move across the country. A risk of fog patches for many on Friday morning. Temperatures around the seasonal average.
Updated:
Likely a continuation of the unsettled conditions seen for much of the week with further showers or some longer spells of rain affecting much of the country. On Saturday a frontal zone is expected to move east and this could bring a spell of locally heavy rain, particularly on hills exposed to the strong southerly winds. Behind this turning brighter but with showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Its possible we could then see yet more organised, locally heavy rain move across most areas on Monday. Generally temperatures will be close to average, but it will likely feel quite chilly in the often wet and breezy conditions. However we are unlikely to see much in the way of frost or fog in this unsettled spell.
Updated:
There is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the unsettled patterns we are likely to see through the first couple of weeks of December, 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. Hill snow is also a possibility, mainly in the north. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
