Cloud is likely to be increasing more generally during the later part of this morning and into this afternoon leading to much of the country having a rather cloudy end to the day. Most places will be dry, but there is still the threat of some drizzle along those eastern coasts of Scotland and England. The best of the sunshine reserved for western Wales and southwest England. Quite a cool feel to the day at 5 to 8C.

Still some spots of drizzle around in the east at first tonight, and this could actually turn a little more persistent for a time this evening, although still remaining light. There will be a tendency for the cloud to melt away from many inland areas, leaving clear skies and another cold night.

A widespread frost is likely to form under the clear skies, lows at 0 to -2C, but holding up to just above freezing on eastern coasts.

Some bright spells left in the far southwest. Temperatures around 7 to 8C for most of us. to 8C.
Thursday
A significant change in conditions for Thursday. The winds will be to gale force across much of the north of Thursday morning, these strong to gale force winds spreading to all parts of the country during the day. Heavy bands of rain will be sweeping southwards, and although mild for a time, much colder air will move into the north later in the day, turning to rain to snow over the hills of Scotland during the night.
