Friday 30 Dec - Sunday 8 Jan Probably dry across many areas at first on Friday, but showers that could be locally heavy at times likely to spread from the southwest throughout the day, and some risk of hill snow. Windy conditions likely, with gales possible across higher ground and towards the coasts. Temperatures close to the seasonal average. Weather remaining changeable into the New Year, with rain and showers most frequent in the west and northwest. Increased likelihood of longer dry periods as well, most likely towards the east and southeast. Any snowfall will be restricted to Scottish mountains. Mild in the south for the later part of the period, whilst the north sees a mixture of milder and colder spells.

A trend back towards milder, wetter weather is most likely following this. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk
