Lots of dry weather

With a strong cell of high pressure to build in, much of Britain will have a largely dry week. Fronts may bring in some rain to the north west. While a couple of days look mild, in general it will be quite a chilly week with temperatures below normal. Frosts are also likely to develop.

A milder day with a risk of scattered showers across western parts of Britain. Dry elsewhere with a good deal of cloud. The far south may see some sunshine. A dry night. Where skies clear there is a risk of patchy frost and mist. Highs of 12 to 16C.
