Sunday starts with wintry showers in central and eastern Britain. Elsewhere it is dry. Through the day scattered showers continue in the eastern half of the country. They will fall as sleet or snow at times, even to low levels. Sunny spells develop with the best of them in the west. A strong northeasterly wind in southern and central regions makes it feel very cold.

Temperatures range from 5C (41F) to 8C (46F). See the rain radar for the latest view.

Tomorrow looks similar. Showers continue to affect much of England and eastern Scotland. They could become quite heavy but as upper air temperatures increase most of them should turn back to rain. The brightest conditions are expected to be in the west. It remains chilly but temperatures will be a little higher than today's.

High pressure in control

During Tuesday occasional showers are possible but it should be mainly dry. Bright spells are possible in much of the UK but in the northern half of Scotland it may be cloudier. Temperatures should be a little higher than in recent days.

Through the following days high pressure remains to the west of the UK and it should often be dry. Daytime temperatures begin to recover but the risk of nighttime frosts remains.

Towards the end of the week another cold plunge from the north is possible. It currently looks as though a ridge of high pressure may build across the south with the very cold upper level air only reaching central and northern areas. Into the following week there are tentative signs of it turning warmer.
