New Year's day is set to be dry in most of the country. After a cold start temperatures pick up and become close to the average in the afternoon. Outbreaks of rain may push into northern and western Scotland.

During Thursday outbreaks of rain spread across northern and western areas. The south and east should remain dry. It will be windy but mild. The wet weather pushes southeastwards overnight and through Friday. Colder conditions follow and in Scotland showers turn wintry.

Through the weekend high pressure builds in from the west. Saturday will be quite cold with frost early and late. On Sunday outbreaks of rain and milder air begin to return from the northwest. 

Next week high pressure is expected to remain centred to the south of the UK. Southern counties should have a lot of dry and quite mild weather. In the north there is a greater risk of rain.
