[Updated 06:50 19/02/2021]

The weather looks like being stuck in a rut for the next few days. The north and west of the UK have further spells of rain but the south and east will often be drier. Temperatures generally stay above the norm for the second half of February, especially in the south where there is the potential for it to be very mild at times.
