Sunday is off to showery start in eastern areas. In the north and west it is mainly dry but there has been a frost in places. Through the rest of the day heavy showers affect southern and eastern Britain, and over high ground in the northeast they could be wintry at times. Elsewhere it should be mostly dry with sunny spells.
It will be another cold day with temperatures ranging from 4C (39F) in northern Scotland to 10C (50F) in the south. See the rain and lightning radar for the latest view.

During Tuesday and Wednesday a messy picture develops. Areas of low pressure bring a risk of showers or longer spells of rain to much of the UK and it remains quite cold.
The weather during the second half of the week is expected to be quite unsettled. The wettest periods are likely in the north and west, but all areas could see some rain. Temperatures recover as milder air is pumped up from the southwest. At this stage the weekend is looking mixed.

Further information and notices will be posted on the website and Twitter (@TWOweather) during the next 48 hours.
