Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
...............Wednesday 6 Dec - Friday 15 Dec
A fair amount of uncertainty at the start of this period as milder and more
generally unsettled conditions across the south and west try and extend further
north and east through the week. Its likely that these milder conditions will
ultimately spread to the whole UK, but it may well take until Thursday or even
Friday before they reach the extreme north pf Scotland. Elsewhere, milder, or at
least less cold weather than the preceding days, with areas of rain and stronger
winds, more especially in the west, this erratically spreading further north and
east with time. Moving towards mid December and more generally unsettled and
milder conditions look most probable although a return of the colder conditions
cannot be ruled out entirely.
Saturday 16 Dec - Saturday 30 Dec
Conditions are most likely to be changeable through this period. Wetter and
windier than average conditions are slightly more likely than normal, especially
in the west and northwest. Temperatures are most likely to be near or above
average overall, especially in the south and west. It is possible that there ill
be further colder interludes, but these likely to be short lived at first.
Perhaps a greater chance of a longer cold spell late in the period.......................................
