Low pressure and Atlantic fronts to rule
Confidence is now high that much of the forecast period will be dominate by low pressure and with the winds from the south west, temperatures will remain on the mild side. As the winds switch to the north by Tuesday it does turn colder but that's going to be short lived as the south-westerlies come back in.
