BBC weather for the Week Ahead Mainly dry Some sunshine Night frosts https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/av/64777970

Thursday 2 Mar - Saturday 11 Mar Much of the UK is likely to see dry, settled conditions through early March, although cloudier conditions and showers, possibly wintry, are expected for the north and east at times, especially for coastal areas. Some sunny spells remain possible, especially in the south, where clear skies could result in some frost patches. Temperatures generally rather cold to cold. Towards the end of the period, high pressure is expected to migrate northwestwards, resulting in an increased likelihood of wintry showers in the north and east. There is a small possibility of more organised rain or snow spreading southwards, with the west and northwest most likely to remain under a settled regime. Winds generally light to moderate, possibly stronger in the north. Temperatures generally colder than average, with some overnight frost likely. Sunday 12 Mar - Sunday 26 Mar Through this period, spells of rain and snow are likely at times, with a small possibility of these combining with stronger winds to become locally disruptive. Overall though, conditions are more likely to be mixed, with some areas remaining largely snow free. Northwestern areas are likely to stay driest throughout. Temperatures are likely to remain below average to start, although a trend towards average temperatures is most likely later on. Despite this trend, short colder spells remain possible, and are more likely than average. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

Wednesday 1 Mar - Friday 10 Mar High pressure will dominate through early March despite edging northwestwards, bringing dry and rather cloudy conditions for most, with some (most likely rain) showers likely for some eastern and southern areas. There is also potential for a spell of more unsettled weather in the far north. Towards the end of the period, a trend towards more unsettled weather is likely. With more direct northerly winds increasing in likelihood, there is an increasing chance of colder conditions and snow showers for northern and eastern areas, and a low chance of more organised rain or snow spreading south across the country. West, and northwestern areas likely to stay more settled for longest. Temperatures generally on the colder side of average overall, with some overnight frost likely. Saturday 11 Mar - Saturday 25 Mar Spells of rain and snow are much more likely at first compared with the start of the month, with a low chance that some of these could be locally rather disruptive, with snow and/or strong northerly winds. However, conditions overall are likely to be more mixed, not everywhere will see snow. Northwestern areas are likely to stay driest throughout. Temperatures are likely to be below average at first, and may remain so for much of the period although will slowly increase overall by virtue of the changing seasons reducing the chance of snow accordingly. Shorter, much colder snaps remain possible, and more likely than average. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

Tuesday 28 Feb - Thursday 9 Mar On Tuesday, a mostly settled day across the country. Brisk winds expected in southern areas, with the risk of a few wintry showers. Northern areas will see more mild conditions. Through the rest of the week, high pressure will dominate across the UK, leading to dry conditions for most but rather cloudy at times. Showers are possible in southern and eastern areas, with a small chance of a few wintry showers in southern areas. For the rest of the period, high pressure is likely to migrate northwards, increasing the likelihood of colder, northerly winds across the UK, increasing the chance of snow showers for many eastern and northern areas. Temperatures to start below average in southern areas but increasing to around average through the period. Friday 10 Mar - Friday 24 Mar In this period, spells of rain or snow, are more likely than earlier in the month, with a low chance that some wintry episodes could be disruptive, though northwestern areas most likely to see the driest conditions. Winds could often be from a northerly or easterly direction, and temperatures are more likely to be below-average than above-average overall, but later in the month, colder air will be fighting against a strengthening sun. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

A cooler feeling night tonight with occasional showers and a strengthening northerly wind Temp 5.0c

Monday 27 Feb - Wednesday 8 Mar On Monday, a mostly dry day although northern and eastern areas may see the occasional light rain. Breezy conditions likely across the south. Continuing through the week, high pressure is expected to dominate creating rather cloudy but dry conditions for most. For the rest of the period, a continuation of similar settled conditions is likely. Light winds in the north, increasing towards the south, with a risk of gales at exposed coasts. Towards the end of the period, there is an increasing likelihood of colder conditions, with a chance of snow showers in many eastern and northern areas. Temperatures to start likely around average, most likely becoming below average towards the end of the period. Thursday 9 Mar - Thursday 23 Mar In this period, spells of rain or snow, are more likely than earlier in the month, with a low chance that some wintry episodes could be disruptive, though northwestern areas most likely to see the driest conditions. Winds could often be from a northerly or easterly direction, and temperatures are more likely to be below-average than above-average overall, but later in the month, colder air will be fighting against a strengthening sun. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

Sunday 26 Feb - Tuesday 7 Mar Widely settled with plenty of sunshine, cloudiest in the west but cloud cover gradually increasing through the weekend. Patchy overnight fog in periods of clear skies possible. Some slight showers possible across north and eastern coastal districts. Light and variable winds, stronger across some peripheral areas, especially the south coast. Temperatures by day around average to mild in north, but chillier where clear skies persist overnight. Rather cold in the south, especially in the breeze. Later, most places rather cloudy, but dry. A low pressure will produce an increased risk of showers in the south. The likelihood of wintery showers is very low, but most possible for the far south. Temperatures by day likely to be around average, by night likely a little below overall although frosts limited by cloud. Wednesday 8 Mar - Wednesday 22 Mar In this period, spells of rain or snow, are more likely than earlier in the month, with a low chance that some wintry episodes could be disruptive, though northwestern areas most likely to see the driest conditions.
