Continued progression of areas of low pressure into Britain from off the Atlantic this week will result in further bouts of rain and fog, generally concentrated on western mountains. There will also be strong winds. Nevertheless, there remains considerable uncertainty in forecast track of the lows, making the day to day forecast detail difficult (from Tuesday onwards). There could be a marked improvement late in the week.
