After a cold, crisp and frosty start, it will stay fine and dry with plenty of sunshine. Winds should remain light for much of the day. Maximum Temperature 14C.

Tonight:

Cloud will gradually thicken from the north overnight. However it will stay dry, with some clearer spells remaining possible in the south. Also turning breezy, especially along the Norfolk coast. Minimum Temperature 6C.

Tuesday:

After a chilly start, a dry day is expected with a mixture of bright or sunny spells. Winds will also become strong at times, and also gusty. Maximum Temperature 14C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Lighter winds, Wednesday and Thursday, with any overnight fog patches clearing to warm sunny spells especially Wednesday. Cloudy start Friday with early rain clearing to colder, sunnier but breezy conditions.

Day 6 to 15

Much colder weather will establish itself across all parts by the end of Friday. The cold feel will be exacerbated by strong northerly winds, touching gale force in parts of the north and northeast. These will blow in plenty of showers, turning wintry, especially across the high ground of northern Britain, but perhaps to lower levels at times in the far north. Widespread overnight frost is likely, with icy stretches where showers have occurred. Then becoming drier from the northwest into the following week, although spells of rain could affect the east and southeast for a time, before a more generally changeable pattern develops as we move into November. Generally staying on the cold side with further overnight frost.

Day 16 to 30

The weather looks changeable and windy at times with bands of rain or showers, interspersed with drier, quieter spells. The wettest and windiest weather is most likely across parts of the north, with perhaps some snow at times over the mountains. Towards the middle of the month, there are signs that high pressure may become more dominant to the north, bringing more generally settled conditions here, but with a greater incidence of overnight frost and fog. Meanwhile, more changeable weather may remain dominant across the south, with some rain here at times, although with any milder spells being short-lived.
