Planning Outlook
Early in the new week, slack low pressure drifting over the country brings areas of showery rain mostly into afternoons, moving around slowly under light winds, most widely England and Wales. Drier from midweek as high pressure expands in from the north. Quiet weather patterns may then continue through the end of the month with light winds and occasional scattered showers. Cool on eastern hills, near to freezing higher Scottish tops. Warmest and sunniest in western regions. Occasional frost overnight into glens.
