Showers and longer spells of rain affect much of the UK today, and in Scotland snow is possible, especially over high ground. Changeable conditions continue in the coming days, and it will often be cold in the north. Milder conditions push into the south at times.

Wet in much of the UK

Heavy showery spells of rain move eastwards across southern and central regions. In the north a band of rain edges southwards, with wintry showers following into Scotland. Patchy rain in Northern Ireland clears to brighter conditions in the afternoon, with just an odd shower. 

Temperatures range from a very cold 3°C in northern Scotland to a rather mild 13°C near the south coast. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.
