Some very wet weather is once again expected across parts of the UK in the next 24 hours thanks to low pressure centred close to the south of the country. This low will also help to pull in some rather chilly north-easterly winds in many areas with temperatures remaining below where they should be for mid-November.
This morning is starting off cloudy and wet across parts of England and Wales with a band of rain extending from central and southern parts of Wales, across the south Midlands and into parts of East Anglia, the rain heavy and persistent in nature bringing some hazardous travelling conditions. This rain doesn’t move too far today, but will slowly pivot so that it spreads north into parts of the north Midlands and northern England whilst also sinking south across parts of southwest England. To the south and southeast it will be drier but with some scattered heavy showers breaking out at times. Meanwhile, for much of the north and west it will be bright and breezy with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, the showers tending to become heavier and more frequent around northern and eastern coasts as the north-easterly wind freshens up. It will be rather cold for many areas with top temperatures of 5°C to 9°C, and feeling colder in the wetter and windier regions.
The rain band will continue to drift north and west tonight, affecting much of northern England and Wales which is a concern for the flood-hit regions. Showers are likely elsewhere, but where skies clear it will turn chilly with some frost, especially across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The rain band slowly fizzles out tomorrow across England and Wales but more heavy rain could return across southeast England during the day with north-easterly winds remaining quite strong. The best of the drier and brighter weather will be across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland although even here the odd shower cannot be ruled out.
