Pressure continue to rise across Britain and Ireland today and by this evening values of around 1050mb are possible across parts of southwest England which, if attained, would be the highest pressure reading across the country since the 1950's, This means plenty of fine and sunny weather for most places today, but the far north will become cloudier and breezier.
A widespread frost has formed under clear skies overnight with some freezing fog patches in places so it's a cold start to Sunday but there will be plenty of sunshine around this morning with most places settling into a fine and dry day with long periods of sunshine. There are one or two showers running down into northern and easternmost coasts first thing this morning but these will soon die out today. The main change today will come across the far north and northwest of Scotland where a freshening south-westerly breeze will herald the arrival of increasing cloud, the cloud thickening up to bring some rain and drizzle to the far north and the Northern Isles. It will turn a little milder here with top temperatures of 8°C or 9°C, but for most places maximums will be in the range of 5°C to 7°C.
The far north remains mild, cloudy and damp tonight with some of that cloud drifting further south to hold temperatures up but away from here it will be another clear night with a widespread, sharp frost forming along with some mist and freezing fog in places. The lowest temperatures are expected across central and southern counties of England where minimums of -5°C are possible. This takes us into a quiet start to the new working week with plenty of dry weather around. The south will be sunniest whilst northern regions are cloudier with the risk of a little light rain or drizzle in the far north.
