Monday
A much colder day is expected across the north as temperatures fall into single figures but mild in the south. A lot of cloud is expected across Britain. In the morning an area of sleet and snow spreads into northern Scotland with some accumulation possible down to low levels. In the afternoon this spills into south east Scotland. Bright across Northern Ireland with showers, these wintry over the hills. An area of rain and showers affects England and Wales. Later as the cold air filters further snow, showers over the Pennines and Snowdonia will become wintry. Expect maximums of 7 to 15 Celsius with a brisk north west wind developing. Gales may affect eastern Scotland in the afternoon.
