A dry and increasingly sunny weekend, but feeling colder.

Today:

A dull start this morning, with some drizzle in places. The cloud though will gradually break up during the morning, giving a much sunnier afternoon. Despite the sunshine it will be feeling cooler than of late. Maximum Temperature 12C.

Tonight:

A dry and largely clear night, although some low cloud may form over the hills. It will be a much colder night than of late, with a widespread ground frost. Minimum Temperature 1C.

Sunday:

After a chilly start, it will be a dry and fine day with plenty of sunshine. It will feel colder than Saturday, especially in the breeze. Maximum Temperature 11C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Cloudier but largely dry on Monday, before turning increasingly showery from Tuesday onwards. A brisk easterly wind will make it feel much colder, with the showers possibly wintry at times.

Day 6 to 15

The remainder of November looks most likely to be characterised by winds blowing in from continental Europe across much of the country. This will bring variable and often large amounts of cloud, with the best of any sunshine in western areas. There is also the likelihood of some showers, these most likely focussed across eastern areas, but perhaps becoming more widespread and persistent at times. With a relatively chilly air mass in place, there is scope for some sleet or snow, but this will most likely be restricted to higher ground. The breeze will make for a marked wind chill at times in the south. With lighter winds further north, and under clear skies at night, overnight frosts are likely to become rather more extensive.

Day 16 to 30

This period is likely to begin with a continuation of cold conditions for much of the country. There is a small chance that during early December, the weather pattern may change, with fronts moving in from the Atlantic, bringing rain, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes and also less cold weather. However, should this come off, then this change will likely be short lived, with more settled conditions becoming re-established by the middle of December. This would mean a return to increased incidences of overnight frost as well as the risk of fog.
