Frosts This week will be mostly an unsettled one with low pressure dominating Britain. Temperatures will be around normal but with a brisk north east wind, it will feel colder.

Rain comes in across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Freezing fog patches clear by afternoon otherwise a dry day to come with sunnier spells, best in the east. Windy into the night with rain for Scotland, northern England, Wales and the south west. This may give some snow to the hills. Expect highs of 5 to 7C.

Wednesday 17/02/16 Cool and breezy as that area of rain, with sleet and snow over the hills pushes east across England and Wales.
