The weather during the next few days will be a lot more unsettled than it has been recently. All parts of the UK have wet and windy spells, but it turns notably mild for a time. Later in the week colder air pushes southwards and showers over the Scottish mountains turn to sleet or snow. A ridge of high pressure then builds in from the west leading to an increasing risk of frost and fog by the weekend.
