Planning Outlook
A brief brighter spell on Saturday, but otherwise staying mild with low cloud, drizzle and rain at times well into next week. Areas northeast of major hill groups seeing least rain and highest cloud breaks, though high summits will struggle to clear the fog as the air will remain generally humid. Southerly winds of varied strengths, sometimes more blustery, approaching gale-force in exposed western areas. As the following weekend approaches, indications of northeasterly winds developing for Scotland, bringing drier weather to the west, and potentially much colder with time. England & Wales may remain frequently wet under slow-moving low pressure - uncertainty over timing and locations of the coldest conditions.
