A mixture of sunshine and scattered showers today, these locally heavy. Fewer showers by this afternoon. Quite mild again but feeling cooler in the breeze, although winds easing later. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Scattered showers continuing in coastal regions, but otherwise becoming drier with clear periods. Becoming rather chilly with some frost possible in sheltered spots inland. Turning windier in the west later. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Saturday:

A largely fine day with sunny periods. Freshening southeasterly winds developing and turning windier in the west with some rain possible in Pembrokeshire later. Cooler. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Often cloudy and dull through this period with some rain and drizzle possible at first. Initially rather mild though gradually turning colder and somewhat brighter with an easterly breeze developing.

Showers or longer spells of rain are likely to continue at first for many parts of the country, perhaps heavy at times, but gradually over the weekend the weather is expected to become more settled. Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to see this change first, with spells of rain perhaps slower to clear further across the south. Into the following week, high pressure is expected to become more widely established. Winds will be light and clearer skies are likely, however this does not rule out the odd shower, especially around coasts. High pressure and settled weather will result in temperatures falling to closer to average, with overnight frosts and morning fog which could be slow to clear.

High pressure will probably remain influential across the UK during this period. This means an increasing likelihood of dry weather compared to the winter so far. Despite the greater signal for settled weather, showers or occasional bands of rain are still possible at times, especially later in the period towards January. These could be wintry in nature. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal for the time of year.
