Scotland

Today marked a substantial change from recent days as a push of milder air lifted temperatures this afternoon towards 7 or 8C in the West and where snow lies, about 4 or 5C. A strong SW wind certainly knocked the edge off those readings though, feeling pretty chilly in the stiff wind.

Through tonight and winds drop off and under clear skies, temperatures dive below freezing widely. Expect lows of 0 to -4C, perhaps a little cooler where snow lies. Watch out for ice again tonight!

An even milder day tomorrow with highs in western areas rising to 10C while 6 or 7C in the east. It will be a blustery, showery day with some of those showers clumping together to provide longer spells of rain.

It turns cooler Sunday and that starts to trend to colder weather next week.

England

It will be a relatively quiet night throughout England with a mix of cloud and clear spells, the clear skies should become more widespread through the overnight and this will allow any warmth from today to escape back to space, so a frost is likely with lows ranging from 4C in London to -1C in Carlisle, cooler away from towns and cities. Ice will be a threat once again so watch out if your out early in the morning. Showers may graze the east coast.

Through tomorrow and it’s a breezy, cool day but still milder than of late at 5-8C, slightly cooler in sheltered areas with snow, perhaps only 3-4C here. It will be largely dry day although a weak system dropping into the North may bring a cloudier, damp afternoon.

Sunday turns cooler setting the stage for a colder week next week.

Wales

After a rather windy day where gusts neared 60 mph at Aberporth, tonight will see those showers die away and with skies clearing and winds falling light, this sets the stage for a cold night with a widespread frost. Ice may also be a threat by morning. Lows dip to between 0-3C in towns and cities to between 0/-4C in rural areas.

A bright start to Saturday but clouds increase with light and patchy rain developing through the afternoon. While highs range from 6-8C, lighter winds will make it feel more comfortable compared to day.

A cloudy, damp Saturday evening, turning cooler Sunday, much colder next week.

Northern Ireland

Following an early dip in temperatures across NI tonight, clouds will increase from the northwest bringing a damp start to Saturday and less cold at 5-7C. This sets the scene for Saturday with plenty of cloud with light and patchy rain. It will be relatively mild at 7-8C and with less wind it won’t feel too bad compared to recent days. Enjoy this milder air while it lasts as Sunday starts the downward trend in temperature. Much colder next week.

Ireland

A cold, clear and frosty night ahead across much of Ireland with lows dipping to between 0 and -3C. Watch out for icy patches.

Tomorrow will turn increasingly cloudy across northern and perhaps western areas but staying largely fine dry and bright with light winds. Temperatures range from a milder 7-8C in the north while it stays slightly cooler at 5-6C despite brighter skies.

Sunday turns brighter in the north while the southward tracking system brings a cloudier but milder day to the south. Sharp turn to colder next week.
