Fortunately, a ridge of high pressure looks to build in to start this week, leading to a largely dry Monday. However, it looks to turn increasingly unsettled again for the rest of the week, as Atlantic frontal systems move in off the Atlantic, bringing spells of rain or showers.

A further inch of rain or more fell across the far south of England overnight, but the rain will clear the far southeast this morning, leaving most places dry though it will remain cloudy across southern and eastern areas until the afternoon, with a brisk northeasterly wind blowing in a few streamers of showers towards the east. Best of the sunshine across northern and western areas. A strong northeasterly wind across southern England – making it feel cold here today, despite temperatures reaching 8-10C generally across England and Wales.
Skies clearing this evening and overnight so turning cold and frosty across England and Wales ahead of a band of thickening cloud and rain accompanied by strengthening winds spreading southeast across Scotland in the early hours.
Bright but cold and frosty, with mist or fog in places, across southern, central and eastern areas to start Tuesday, before a band of cloud and increasingly patchy rain clearing southeast from Scotland across northern England and N. Ireland through the morning arrives in the afternoon across southern Britain, though not much rain left by then.

Another spell of perhaps squally rain clearing southeast across England and Wales Friday morning, followed by brighter conditions with showers across the north and west, falling as snow over higher ground. Rather windy on Friday, especially in the west, thus feeling cold.
Low pressure looks like loitering close by next weekend, but slowly filling, so winds easing. But there will be some showers around and with the air cold enough for showers to fall wintry in nature, with snow over hills. Some bright or sunny spells too.
