A very different feel to the weather across many parts of Britain and Ireland today as a colder Polar Maritime air mass has moved in from the northwest. However, with this air mass will come plenty of clear weather so there will be plenty of sunshine around although showers around coastal regions will provide some potentially impressive cloudscapes and some good photographic opportunities for the photographers amongst you.
Sunday morning dawns chilly with a fairly widespread ground frost having formed overnight along with an air frost in rural regions but the upside is that these clear skies mean that there will be plenty of sunshine around this morning. It's not clear everywhere though with cloud and scattered showers affecting coastal regions exposed to the north-westerly winds, some of these showers locally heavy with hail and falling as snow over some of the peaks of the Scottish mountains. The shower risk continues in those exposed regions today, but for the majority it will be a dry day with plenty of bright November sunshine around. Despite this it will be rather chilly with top temperatures ranging from 6°C or 7°C in the north to 10°C or 11°C in the south, and feeling cooler in the north-westerly breeze.
Clear skies and light winds this evening will mean that those temperatures will fall away quickly so if you're heading out to any firework displays then we advise that you wrap up warm. It should be dry for most places though with just the odd coastal shower and by the end of the night a widespread frost will have developed with temperatures falling to lows of 0°C to -3°C, perhaps a touch colder in prone spots. The main exception to the cold and frosty theme will come across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland where increasing cloud and breeze will hold temperatures up as outbreaks of rain and drizzle develop. The rain turns heavier and more persistent across the north and west tomorrow but for most other regions the week will start off on a fine if rather chilly note.
