Another weekend dominated by high pressure for much of Britain and Ireland keeping the quiet, dry and settled theme going and this high still looks like hanging around well into next week, especially for more southern regions.

With this high centred close to south-western regions of the UK today then it is allowing for more of a westerly breeze to develop across northern regions of Britain which is meaning more cloud and some patchy rain or drizzle is feeding in but temperatures are holding up. There have been some clearer spells towards eastern and southern districts of the country overnight and where these lasted temperatures have dropped low enough for some patches of frost to form. No huge amount of change is expected today with many regions seeing variable and often large amounts of cloud whilst the best of any bright or sunny spells is mainly reserved for eastern districts. The far north of Scotland will also tend to brighten up as a band of patchy rain sinks a little further south across central and northern Scotland. Top temperatures today will range from 7°C to 9°C in the south and east to 10°C to 12°C further to the north and west.

Those cloudier skies linger tonight for most places but the cloud will help to hold temperatures above freezing for many, although under any lengthy clear spells in sheltered eastern districts a touch of frost is still likely. Some rain and drizzle will continue across parts of Scotland and this continues tomorrow with many places seeing a dry day with variable and often large amounts of cloud meaning that the best of any brighter spells will mainly be towards eastern districts.
