Weather outlook :

Monday 7th will see a mainly dry clear day for most after early frost in most inland areas. Sunny periods for most with a risk of an isolated wintry shower near eastern coasts. More frequent wintry showers may initially effect the SE at times, these mainly of rain or sleet near coasts but of sleet or snow a little inland with local accumulations just about possible over the N Downs. Rather more cloudy in N and W Scotland and N Ireland by noon with some mainly light rain affecting here later. Increasingly windy in the far NW later with perhaps local gales. Frosty again inland over England, Wales and S Scotland by dusk. Temperatures rather cold in most parts, locally cold in Highland and other inland upland regions, near average in the SW and the far NW.

Tuesday 8th will see another mainly dry clear day for most after further early frost in most inland areas, locally severe in central parts (with grass temps as low as minus 10C). Sunny periods for central and southern England and the SE but probably rather dull and cloudy elsewhere. Frosty again inland in some central parts by dusk. Temperatures near average or slightly below in most parts.

Wednesday 9th will probably see a generally dry but fairly cloudy day in the west with some rain at times by morning into N Ireland and the far southwest of England but less cloudy in the east with more in the way of sunny periods after an early frost in central parts. The rain will slow working east into some other western parts during the day. Perhaps rather breezy in the west later. Temperatures staying generally rather cold in the east though near average elsewhere.
