Chilly weekend with frost developing widely
[Updated 07:06 27/01/2012]
Friday will start off dry for much of the country, but showers will develop and become widespread through the course of the day. Some of the showers could turn to sleet or snow over higher ground, especially in the north, before clearing away tonight to leave a widespread frost. Saturday will bring a good deal of dry and bright but rather cold weather, with frost returning after dark. During Sunday and Monday a weather front will move in from the west, and on its eastern edge the rain may turn to turn to sleet or snow. The first part of next week is looking cold in the south and east, although further north and west temperatures will probably be closer to the seasonal average. There remains a lot of uncertainty about how extensive and persistent the cold weather will be. If you're planning on going further afield this winter to look for snow, remember to check our great new
winter sports weather forecasts and
winter sports weather risk graphs which cover most major European winter sports resorts. The
weather risk graphs are also available for UK locations.
Buzz will continue to have the latest news and views through the winter.
