A milder night to come in the west, where low cloud spreading slowly eastwards brings areas of patchy light drizzle. Cold elsewhere, with a widespread frost developing beneath clear skies.
Rather cloudy with the best of the sunshine in the southwest. Persistent rain spreads across the far northwest. Still chilly in the southeast, but temperatures recovering closer to average elsewhere.
Milder. Mainly dry and settled in the south, though rather cloudy. with occasional spots of rain. Breezier in the northwest, with more persistent spells of rain arriving from the Atlantic.
High pressure will lie close to the south of the UK initially, with generally settled conditions prevailing across the south. Cloud amounts will be variable but often large, with some fog developing under clearer spells, this slow to clear. Frontal systems may affect the northwest of the UK at times, bringing some rain and windier conditions here. High pressure and associated settled conditions may extend further north for a time, before low pressure seems likely to increasingly influence the UK weather late in the period, with some rain and windier conditions extending to most parts. Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, especially in the north, though the south and east may have some rather cold starts under clearer skies and lighter winds.
A dominant flow from the Atlantic drives an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This likely leading to bands of rain and periods of stronger winds at times, however the potential for brief cold northerly spells remains following any deep lows crossing the region, though these brief before a milder westerly likely returns.
