Thursday will be another mild or very mild day across many parts of Britain and Ireland as mild southerly winds feed in. Many places away from the north and west will be dry thanks to high pressure ridging in from the east and it is this high that will dominate in the coming days, gradually introducing colder air from the east.
There is a lot of cloud around across many parts of the country this morning with some mist and fog patches having formed overnight. There is also some patchy drizzle in the air in places, but the bulk of the wetter weather can be found across western parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland where a slow-moving frontal system continues to linger. Very little change is expected as we go through the day with northern and western regions remaining mostly overcast and damp with periods of rain which will be heavy at times before tending to ease from the south later. Elsewhere and it will be a mostly dry day but it will be generally cloudy for much of the time with limited bright or sunny intervals developing, the best chance of these coming across parts of northeast England. Despite the cloud it will be a very mild day everywhere with temperatures into the low-mid teens.
It remains generally cloudy and mild tonight with some mist and fog forming once again, especially across the hills but also towards parts of the south and east. Further outbreaks of rain and drizzle will affect the north and west, but even these will tend to die out during the course of the night. The working week then ends on a rather mild and overcast note for most places with mist and fog slowly lifting to leave plenty of dry weather around with even the north and west seeing a drier day although the odd light shower cannot be ruled out. The generally dry theme continues through the weekend too, but as we start to pick up more of an easterly breeze so temperatures will start to drop back.
