Friday 12/1/18
Cloud and rain in Ireland on Friday with stronger winds here as fronts push in from the Atlantic. Higher pressure to the east will bring drier weather for much of the UK with plenty of cloud and just a few brighter spells. Highs at 4C in the east, 9C in the west.


Saturday 13/1/18
Lower pressure brings some outbreaks of rain through Saturday, again most in the west. Eastern areas tending to see cloudy conditions with a few outbreaks of drizzle. Highs at 4 to 9C.

 
 
 


Sunday 14/1/18
Fair slack pressure across the country on Sunday. This brings mist and murk with cloud and spots of drizzle. A few bright spells may developing in more eastern areas. Becoming windier in western Scotland and western Ireland with heavier bursts of rain and gales arriving here later. Highs at 5 to 9C.
 


Monday 15/1/18
Low pressure northwest of Scotland on Monday. Rain and strong winds push eastwards, this rain perhaps turning to snow in Scotland and northern England for a time. Brighter, colder and more showery weather then follows to the west as the rain, sleet and snow clears east. Highs at 4 to 9C.


Tuesday 16/1/18
Low pressure stays to the northwest of Scotland on Tuesday. A showery westerly flow will be affecting all areas. The wintry showers will be heavy in the west and some will be thundery. The showers more isolated in the east. Highs at 3 to 6C.
