  • Cloud amounts will be variable, but some clear or sunny spells are likely
  • Overnight frosts along with fog patches are probable for some regions, with the fog being slow to clear
  • Later next week or next weekend, conditions may turn more unsettled for a while, with a chance of stronger winds and some rain moving southeast
  • Through to the end of this period, there is an increased chance of spells of wetter and windier weather returning, these more likely towards the north with southern areas having a better chance of more prolonged drier, settled weather
  • Temperatures varying around average with both some colder and milder spells likely through this period

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially towards the north or northwest
  • Some sleet and snow is also possible at times, especially on high ground in the north
  • However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January
  • Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog
