Friday starts dry, murky and very mild but through the day bright spells develop. However, there will be more cloud cover than yesterday and it could be thick enough to produce a few spots of rain. Despite that most places remain dry.  

Temperatures range from 10C (50F) in northern Scotland to 15C (59F) in the south. See the rain radar for the latest view.

Winter 2018/19 weather  - update 3

Tonight it becomes murky and damp again. It will be mild.

Tomorrow a change starts taking place as high pressure builds northwards into Scandinavia. That leads to winds turning into a southeasterly direction and cooler air beginning to filter in from the continent. It remains mild but temperatures won't be as high as they have been recently.

Sunday brings dry and bright periods to all regions and the cooling trend continues. Maximum temperatures of between 8C (46F) and 11C (52F) won't be far off the mid November average.

Cold and showery next week

During the first few days of next week it continues to turn colder. Showers push into eastern counties and by the middle of the week they could become quite heavy and wintry. There is a risk of them falling as sleet or snow at times, especially over high ground.

Through the second half of the week low pressure probably deepens to the south of the UK. That leads to a risk of more prolonged outbreaks of rain. Initially it could be cold enough for some sleet or wet snow, particularly over high ground. Later on temperatures could edge upwards as the cold air is mixed out.
