Monday
A largely dry day across England and Wales although cloud will build from the north and west through the day. The best of the lasting sunshine over central and southern areas. Cloudier further east with patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle as a weak area of low pressure passes south close to the east coast of southern Scotland and England. Elsewhere patchy outbreaks of rain will spread eastwards across Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland, these possibly spreading into northern parts of England as well at times. Rain locally heavy over northwest Scotland. High temperatures widely at 7 to 10C.

Monday Night
Patchy rain clears from southeastern parts of England overnight though it remains quite cloudy here. Patchy outbreaks of rain continue to affect southern and eastern parts of Ireland, Northern Ireland and western Scotland overnight and it will stay rather cloudy here. Clear skies over central and southwestern parts of the UK where overnight lows could fall low enough for a touch of frost to form. Lows range from -1C here to 5 or 6C in the far north and west.

Tuesday
Starting dry for most, but rain, accompanied by strengthening winds, will soon spread across Ireland and Northern Ireland before pushing eastwards into far western areas of England, Scotland and Wales as the day progresses. Currently, central and eastern areas will stay mainly dry but increasingly cloudy during the day with rain expected here overnight. Southwesterly winds strengthening to gale force and possibly severe gale force towards the northwest by the evening. Highs between 7 and 11C.

Wednesday
A wet and very windy morning for much of England, Ireland and Wales as two areas of low pressure impact the British Isles. A drier start for Scotland but still very windy here with some lively showers over western coasts and hills. A further area of heavy rain pushes across much of the UK from Ireland during the afternoon. Perhaps staying dry to the far northeast of Scotland until the evening. Winds stay strong to gale force strength. Highs at just 7C in Scotland and northern England, more widely at 9 to 13C.
