New Year's Eve starts dry and in northern England there has been a frost. Through the day showery rain spreads into the south west and thicker cloud could bring drizzly conditions more widely across the south. Elsewhere it remain dry with the sunniest conditions likely in northern England and Northern Ireland. 

Temperatures range from 7C (45F) in the north to 11C (52F) in the south west. See the rain radar for the latest view.

Colder this weekend 

During Thursday outbreaks of rain spread across northern and western areas. By the evening they probably reach central regions, but much of southern and eastern England 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.
