A dry but rather cloudy night, though with the cloud breaking in places to allow a few mist or fog patches to form. Temperatures close to freezing with light winds. Minimum temperature -2 °C.
Sunday:
A few bright spells but rather cloudy and cold. Light rain, sleet or snow may reach the area later. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
A little sleet or snow over the west for a time on Monday, remaining dry and cold with night frosts.
UK Outlook for Wednesday 1 Feb 2012 to Friday 10 Feb 2012:
Although there is a lot of uncertainty, eastern and central areas will most likely see clear or sunny spells, and scattered light wintry showers. At the same time westernmost areas will probably see more cloud, with occasional rain and sometimes snow on hills. Temperatures will probably be below average, and windchill will make it feel colder still when exposed to the easterly winds. Towards the end of the week and through the rest of the period, a general continuation of the cold weather seems likely. There is a risk of snow, ice and sharp frosts, with central and eastern areas being most prone. However, milder conditions may well push into the north and west at times.
UK Outlook for Saturday 11 Feb 2012 to Saturday 25 Feb 2012:
Cold weather looks likely during this period, with both daytime maximum and nighttime minimum temperatures likely to be below or well below average in southern areas, and still below average in the north. Rainfall amounts should be around average in northern areas, with some snow at times. Further south rainfall is likely to be above average with some prolonged spells of rain possible, with also a risk of some significant falls of snow. Sunshine amounts will probably be around or slightly above average.-
