Dry, bright and cold

[Updated 06:45 25/01/2021]

Large parts of southern and central Britain had their first significant snow of the winter yesterday. Today it remains cold but it will be mostly dry. During the next few days milder conditions return to most of the UK and there will be periods of rain. There is uncertainty about the rate of progression back towards milder conditions and it may stay cold in the north east.

Tomorrow outbreaks of rain move eastwards across much of the UK, although it may stay dry in the northern half of Scotland. They are likely to be preceded by a period of sleet or snow in the north, especially over high ground. Less cold in the south and west.

Change on the way

Wednesday begins dry and bright. Through the day outbreaks of rain spread northeastwards and some heavy bursts are possible. In the north they may turn to sleet or snow, particularly over high ground. Temperatures will be higher than recently generally and the south west has a very mild day. 

Thursday and Friday are looking mild in southern and central regions with an ongoing risk of rain. In the north it may stay colder.

By the weekend things become very uncertain. On balance it currently looks like colder conditions may return.
