On New Year's Eve wet weather continues to be a risk in the north west. The rest of the country is expected to be dry and it stays mild or very mild.
During the rest of the week high pressure continues to be centred over the south of the UK. It brings a lot of dry weather to southern and central counties but a southwesterly flow in the north may lead to damp conditions at times. Temperatures in the south east probably dip back down towards the early January average but the north and west stay mild.
