A bright day with prolonged sunny spells, though cloud building in the west later. Occasional showers, wintry over the Moors, easing during the day with many staying dry. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain and perhaps some hill snow on Thursday. Drier and brighter on Friday with a good number of sunny spells. Becoming milder, but also increasingly wet and windy, from Saturday.

An unsettled start, with a spell of very strong winds and some rain or showers for all parts. It will be mild for most parts, especially towards the southeast, although the strong winds will make it feel rather cold. The start of next week looks like turning colder for all parts, with a return of wintry showers for a time, especially in the north. Conditions then look like settling down as high pressure builds across the country. Although the high may drift off to the east later next week, mainly dry and settled conditions seem likely to persist, especially towards the south and east where fog may become an issue. Temperatures trending back towards average, but overnight frosts are likely and rather cold days where fog persists.

The start of this period looks like being largely settled, with high pressure close to if not over the UK. However. there is also a chance of more changeable weather patterns, which would see Atlantic weather systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills in the north. These conditions look more likely to dominate towards the middle of December. Temperatures generally close to average through the period.
