Remaining unsettled on Sunday with very heavy and persistent rain, especially over the hills in Cumbria, with an amber weather warning in place. Strong winds, with coastal gales. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Heavy rain persisting on Monday, but rain gradually sinking southeastwards during the afternoon. Drier on Tuesday with some bright spells. A chilly start on Wednesday then wet and windy again.

A continuation of a similar pattern to that seen through early December is anticipated, especially at first, as frontal systems from the Atlantic spread into and across the UK, interspersed with some temporary drier interludes. These will bring occasional spells of rain, which may be heavy at times leading to the risk of some impacts given how wet it has been lately. In addition, there may also be potential for some periods of strong winds at times too. Whilst it will often be mild, later in the period there may be a slight downward trend in temperature, especially across northern parts of the UK where there may also be a slightly higher chance of some wintry hazards at times.

Changeable conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK and some hill snow in the north. Periods of strong wind are also possible, especially around coasts. Some drier, more settled spells are possible but how long these last is very uncertain. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly above overall.
