Headline:

Brighter but colder through Monday. Becoming windy. Snow possible Tuesday.

Wet and windy. Becoming markedly colder as these conditions edge eastwards, with frost in places and perhaps a parting shot of strong winds and wintry flurries on hills. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Tuesday:

Windy with wintry flurries at first, but gradually brightening from the north during the morning. Sunshine developing widely into the afternoon, but feeling much colder than of late generally. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Bright with brisk winds and some wintry showers in this period, perhaps interrupted by a more extensive and prolonged wintry spell Thursday, although this aspect low confidence. Sharp overnight frosts.

Cold or very cold conditions are expected across most if not all parts of the UK early in this period, with wintry showers affecting in particular northern parts and exposed coastal districts, although it may well be largely sunny. Into the weekend likely turning to more wet and windy conditions with some snowfall on the leading edge of this. Into the following week possibly cooler again though wintry conditions mostly limited to northern hills with a potential for more organised areas of rain, snow and strong winds at times, this probably also associated with milder temperatures, at least in the south. Later in the period, conditions remain uncertain, but some indications for a further more settled spell around the turn of the month.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through early December. In general, there looks like a trend towards drier and more settled conditions, with high pressure potentially being the more dominant influence 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. Temperatures generally close to average, perhaps a little above at times, especially in the south.
