Sunday 16th November 2025

A cold week ahead – much colder than normal for mid-November. Even a small chance of some wintry stuff midweek (though quite uncertain on details).

Thanks to Andy for the photograph.

So it’s an interesting set-up, Storm Claudia to our south – towards Spain/Portugal, and high pressure building towards Iceland/Greenland – which allows for an Arctic blast this coming week.

Sunday starts cloudy – Friday’s weather front is still around though very weak now, just a bit of drizzle at times, and sinking back south. Staying cloudy, or mostly so for most of the day – perhaps some sunny spells by late afternoon. Breezy and around 10’C. Some cloud and some clear spells overnight as the cold air pushes south, around 3’C.

Monday will be a fairly sunny day, some cloud floating around at times but lots of sunshine. However, it will feel fairly cold, just about getting to 8’C but feeling colder than that in the northerly breeze. Clear skies at first though high cloud spreading down in the second half of the night. A frost possible – around 0’C.

Tuesday will be quite cloudy, though some hazy sunshine at times. A band of showers will cross mid/late afternoon – it should be rain but I cannot totally rule out a bit of wintriness mixed in. Chilly, around 8’C, maybe a tad less, and breezy. Probably cloudy with some showers overnight, though some uncertainty on this. Any showers should be of rain, but not impossible for something wintry to be mixed in. Down to around 2’C – though give and take.

Again some uncertainty on early Wednesday, probably cloudy with some showery rain (perhaps some wintriness mixed in) – though this feature may be to our east instead. Afterwards it should gradually brighten up. Notably cold for the time of year, around 5’C and quite windy – so really feeling rather cold. More likely overnight is frosty, though a small chance of some wintry showers. Down to around 0’C – but very give and take.

For Thursday we have high pressure to our west, low to our east – and we start to see the Atlantic go over the high pressure – so milder weather is on its way at this point.

Again quite uncertain on details, other than that it will be cold – around 4’C and feeling colder in the northerly wind. Probably some sunny spells, again a small chance of wintry showers. A frost probable overnight, down to around -2’C.

Friday looks sunny but cold, though at least we will have lost the northerly edge to it. Likely becoming hazy at some point. Around 5’C.

Rain then crosses either Friday night or during Saturday, and it will start to become less cold. Uncertain on how wet it will be at this stage.

Sunday is guesswork at this stage, but average temperatures (around 10’C) and broadly fair conditions is the more likely outcome, though with only low-moderate confidence.

Probably changeable the week after, with rain and wind at times, though some sunnier days too – and temperatures mixed too, some cooler air, some milder air.

Perhaps more broadly drier and mildish for the first week of December.

Hope you are ready for the cold!
