A bright and breezy day with sunny periods and a chance of the odd shower. Feeling cool in the blustery southwesterly winds but still mild for the time of year. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Any isolated showers clearing away, then a dry night for most with clear periods. Turning rather chilly with some frost possible in sheltered spots. Light winds for most. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Saturday:

A mainly fine day with prolonged sunny periods. Perhaps turning somewhat cloudier through the afternoon but skies remaining bright for most. Turning breezier with some rain possible overnight. 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.

A gradual transition to more settled conditions is expected, as high pressure builds to the north of the UK. This will bring a strengthening easterly wind over the Christmas period, making it feel noticeably colder than of late. Whilst there will be a fair amount of dry weather, a few showers will still be possible, particularly across eastern and southern parts which may be wintry in places, more especially over high ground. High pressure will likely dominate the weather in the run up to the New Year, slowly drifting to the west. This will maintain largely settled conditions, although with an increasing chance of showers later in the period. Temperatures will be below average much of the time, with frost likely where clear skies and light winds prevail.

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.
