Generally dry with variable cloud, and frost possible overnight.

Today: A mostly dry day, with variable cloud, light winds and some good spells of sunshine. However, there is a risk of the odd shower at times. Maximum Temperature 7C.

Tonight: Staying generally dry, with cloud breaks developing in some places. This will allow temperatures to drop and frost to develop in some places. Minimum Temperature -1C.

Wednesday: The odd showers possible at first in the morning, clearing up to leave a dry day. Strong winds developing in the afternoon, particularly along the coast. Maximum Temperature 5C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Mostly dry on Thursday and Saturday with sunny spells. Outbreaks of snow possible on Friday, with some coastal snow showers overnight. Very cold throughout, with strong winds expected at times.

UK Outlook for Saturday 3 Jan 2026 to Monday 12 Jan 2026: Northerly winds will bring a spell of very cold, wintry conditions to much of if not all of the UK through at least the early part of this period. These will bring snow showers to areas that are exposed to onshore winds. Subtle day-to-day changes in wind direction will change the places most exposed to the showers, but where they occur some significant accumulations of snow are likely. There are likely to be some more coherent bands of sleet and snow working south, and these may bring a risk of more prolonged and widespread wintry precipitation affecting some inland areas. Things become less certain by the second week of January, however it's possible the cold conditions may persist with an ongoing risk of winter hazards across much of the UK.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 13 Jan 2026 to Tuesday 27 Jan 2026: High pressure will probably be close to the UK at the start of this period, perhaps most likely centered to the west, and whilst this may allow relatively settled and dry conditions with a risk of frost and fog initially, there will be the chance of some occasional wet weather at times, perhaps more especially in the north and east. Given some relatively cold air close to the UK, this may bring the chance of some wintry hazards in places. Towards mid-month, there is the potential for rather more changeable conditions to develop more widely, although confidence in this aspect of the forecast is currently low.
