 Low pressure over the North Sea is bringing a cool and showery start to the new working week with blustery north-westerly wind dominating today. These cool, showery and breezy conditions will slowly ease over the next few days and during the second half of the week high pressure to the west will try to become more influential.
Back to this morning and it's a changeable start to the day for many places as showers, locally heavy and merging into bands, make their way south-eastwards. It is also cold enough for the showers to be falling as snow over high ground in the north with accumulations for the Scottish mountain tops. Further showers are expected throughout the day today but there will be some bright or sunny spells in-between and as we go through the afternoon some places will see more in the way of drier spells developing as the showers start to ease.
It will a rather chilly day, especially with that fresh and blustery west/north-westerly wind blowing, as temperatures reach highs of 8°C or 9°C in the north and 12°C or 13°C in the south, those values dropping in the heavier showers.
Showers will continue into this evening, especially across central, northern and eastern regions of the UK, but they will tend to become confined to windward coasts overnight. As winds ease and where skies clear it will turn chilly with some patchy frost in places. Tomorrow sees further showers breaking out after a bright start although generally there will be more in the way of drier and brighter spells around compared to today.
