High pressure has a lot of influence on the UK's weather this week but there will be changes. After a rather cold start it turns milder during Wednesday as winds strengthen and outbreaks of rain push across the north. Beyond that it looks quite windy and mild, particularly in the north where there could also be rain at times.

Tomorrow it's a similar story. Patchy outbreaks of rain continue to be a risk in the north west and particularly in western and northern Scotland. Other areas have a dry and cold day with an early frost in parts of England and Wales.
During Wednesday a more active Atlantic disturbance is expected to bring wet and windy conditions to the north. Southern and central regions should stay mostly dry.
Through Thursday a patchy band of rain clears southeastwards. Brighter skies follow and temperatures will be close to the late January average.
Friday and the weekend should be mainly dry in much of the UK, although in Scotland there is a greater risk of rain. More windy than recently, particularly in the north.
