A cool easterly breeze in the southeast, light winds for most places. Temperatures up to 10 to 12C after a cold start, but cooler near eastern coasts. Locally 14C in northern Scotland to the lee of the Highlands.

Thursday night
Generally dry into the night with skies clearing for many places. A few local mist patches forming in low-lying districts up to dawn, but these soon dispersing. Mostly light winds. A northeasterly breeze continues around southeastern coasts, whilst southerly winds will tend to increase for western Scotland and Ireland. Frosty again in many rural areas, particularly central England & Wales. Lows near 0C in many towns, locally -3C or below in the countryside.
