Sunday . Some rain over southern England soon to die out during the day, otherwise rather cloudy but mainly dry after early morning frost and fog for most of the England and Wales. Fog to linger locally. Generally brighter with some spells of wintry showers towards Scotland.

Monday and Tuesday will start with some light night-time frost (harder towards north) and patchy fog throughout the British Isles. Otherwise mostly dry and bright with temperatures slightly below normal. Later on Tuesday, clouds thickening from the west with milder air and rain to push in from the west. Turning changeable and windy.
