Pressure will be rising across Scandinavia this week allowing for easterly winds to return across many parts of the country in the coming days bringing some cold and dank conditions to eastern coastal regions. In the meantime low pressure winding itself up to the south and southwest of the country will bring outbreaks of rain northwards during the next day or two.
For this morning and we still have the leftovers of an old frontal system lying across northern parts of Scotland and the Northern Isles bringing some occasional rain and drizzle with it and little change is expected in these areas today. At the same time a band of rain and drizzle is affecting central, southern and some eastern parts of England and this will only slowly edge its way further north and west today, reaching parts of Wales and western England by the end of the afternoon. Although mainly light for many, the rain will become locally quite heavy in places at times, but not everywhere will see the heavier bursts. For the rest of the UK and Ireland there will again be plenty of dry and bright weather around with some sunny spells today, but scattered showers will again break out, especially over Ireland and Scotland where they could be quite heavy. Maximum temperatures will range from 11°C to 15°C, the highest values coming in the sunnier areas, but it will be colder along eastern coasts where some sea mist and fog may roll in at times.
Rain in the south will tend to develop more widely tonight, becoming heavy and persistent at times as the next frontal system pushes northwards, the rain reaching most of England and Wales along with eastern parts of Ireland and perhaps Northern Ireland by dawn. Meanwhile, across Scotland evening showers will tend to die out and then it will be a dry night with clear spells which will allow temperatures to fall low enough for a touch of ground frost, but there will be no frost worries under that cloud and rain elsewhere. Tuesday will then see a band of rain pushing north/north-west into Scotland and the rest of Ireland and Northern Ireland although the far north will remain dry and bright. Drier conditions will then follow from the south with some warm sunshine developing in places, but further scattered showers cannot be ruled out. However, onshore winds mean that eastern and north-eastern coastal regions will remain rather cold and misty.
