High pressure continues to dominate across Britain and Ireland today meaning that the settled weather stays with us for the time being. Once again variable amounts of cloud are making the difference as to seeing fine, sunny days and frosty nights, or dull, chilly days with frost free nights.

It is a frosty start again this morning across much of Scotland and Ireland, whilst many parts of England and Wales are cloudy with temperatures just above freezing. As we go through the day we are once again expecting very little change, with most of the cloud persisting across the south and east. Some breaks may occur, allowing the sunshine through, but the best of the sunshine will again be found towards the north and west.

Later in the day, an approaching weather front will bring thicker cloud to northern Scotland, but it should remain dry until later tonight. Elsewhere, clearer skies will again lead to the formation of some mist and fog patches, along with another frost, but where the cloud hangs around temperatures will stay above zero.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, and that cloud across northern Scotland will continue to edge south, bringing some patchy outbreaks of rain with it. The rest of Britain and Ireland will see a dry and bright day with some sunny spells for most areas, even towards the southeast where the cloud has been most stubborn over the last day or two.

The best of the weather today is expected to be towards the west with another fine and sunny day in store for much of Ireland. Some southern and western areas of England, Wales and Scotland will also see some sunny spells, but for many central and eastern parts it will be rather cold and cloudy day.

The cloud will be thick enough for a little light rain and drizzle close to eastern coasts as well, and with a north-easterly breeze it will feel quite raw out there. The upside of the cloud cover is that it stopped temperatures from falling below freezing overnight, but will prevent them from rising too much today. Meanwhile, after the frosty start in northern and western areas, temperatures will recover to nearer normal values here.

Not much change is expected tonight with south-eastern areas set to remain mostly cloudy with a little drizzle in places and frost-free. However, the clearer skies towards the north and west will result in another widespread and quite sharp frost forming yet again in places.

Wednesday sees more of the same generally, although thicker cloud will arrive across northern Scotland. This will be in advance of a weather front that will slip southwards later in the week, bringing a little rain with it - especially across northern and eastern districts.
