Tomorrow a ridge of high pressure brings dry weather. There will be sunny periods but in the west cloud steadily builds. After a frosty start temperatures become close to the mid February average in the afternoon.

An early taste of spring

During Tuesday it turns wet and windy in the north west. Southern counties stay mainly dry. Temperatures should be a little above the mid February average.

Through the rest of the week high pressure becomes increasingly dominant. It leads to a good deal of dry weather, although the north west remains under a more changeable Atlantic air stream.

There has been some uncertainty about the exact positioning of the weather systems. It now looks as though a long fetch south or southwesterly flow will develop and bring very mild conditions. Temperatures could reach 16C (61F) during the second half of the week to give an early taste of spring.
