Saturday starts with scattered showers in the north of the UK. Elsewhere it is dry. Through the day sunny spells develop but cloudier skies push southwards across central and eastern regions. The risk of showers becomes more widespread and as colder air filters in there is an increasing likelihood of them turning wintry. A keen northeasterly breeze makes it feel cold, especially when showers come along.  

Temperatures range from 6C (42F) in Scotland to 12C (54F) in the south west during sunny spells. See the rain radar for the latest view.

High pressure in control

During Monday scattered showers continue with most of them in the south east where it will feel cold again. Other regions  have a good deal of sunshine and temperatures climb a little higher than in recent days.

Through the following days high pressure remains close to the UK so it stays mostly fine. Daytime temperatures begin to recover but the risk of nighttime frosts remains. Later in the week another cold plunge from the north is a possibility as the area of high pressure becomes centred farther west again.
