Chilly northerly winds, mostly fairly light, will bring a few showers, of snow higher areas Scottish Highlands, but the risk of heavier showery rain to Wales - mainly South Wales. Patches of sun, although extensive cloud overall.
Light wind; a few showers afternoon. Chilly.
Northerly, 10 to 15mph, perhaps 20mph for a few hours after dawn.
Small
A few showers afternoon
Risk of an isolated shower morning. From midday, a scattering of brief showers, giving hail on higher tops.
Very little
Cloud almost all above the summits by late morning as patches on higher areas clear.
Almost certain by late morning
Patchwork of sun before cloud gradually fills in through the middle of the day. Visibility excellent.
3C rising to 7C.

Westerly mostly 15mph.
Small
Increasingly showery through afternoon
Risk isolated showery rain morning, perhaps hail on higher tops. Will tend to deteriorate from later morning as showers become more widespread, particularly east Cumbria. However, western fells may well have little precipitation all day.
Will come and go, sometimes very extensive and low
Considerable variation, particularly afternoon. Broadly, cloud base will rise from 550 to 800m (lowest near coast) after dawn to or above highest fells by late morning. But in rain, expect fog widely on higher slopes and in some areas on lower slopes.
50%
Patches of sunshine will tend to give way to occasional bursts of sun, although coasts and later further inland may well become sunny again. Often excellent visibility but poor in rain.
5C.
Above the summits, but slight frost at first some valleys and upland dips.

Westerly between 5 and 15mph. Risk gusts 25mph in places.
Mostly negligible, but near precipitation, there may be sudden gusts on both higher and lower slopes.
Areas showery, possibly thundery rain
Confidence in detail low: A day of widespread showers, merging into areas of thundery rain - concentrated on the afternoon and evening. However, extensive dry weather over the sea may for periods reach at least west Cumbria.
Many tops cloud covered for periods
Overall, expect fog to cover higher areas, sometimes forming from lowest slopes up. However, clearer air over the sea may extend well inland to clear the cloud to 750m or above for periods.
30%
Pockets of sun here and there, although during the afternoon sunshine may extend slowly inland from off the sea. The air very clear, but in rain often misty or murky.
5C
Above the summits
Relatively low temperatures on the mountains until later in the week; particularly on the Scottish highlands where higher tops will frequently be near freezing point. Showers, some heavy and thundery, giving hail and on higher tops snow, will be widespread, particularly in the afternoons, when in some areas they will merge to give a few hours of precipitation with risk thunder. Signs of a few warmer drier days toward or into next weekend.
