Thursday 4th December 2025

A pretty unsettled spell ahead with wind and rain dominated.

Thanks to Tara for the photograph.

The general overview sees a queue of low pressure systems, though the one nearest Canada is going to become the dominant one and absorb the others.

Thursday starts cloudy with showery rain – clearing around 1pm, give or take. Some sunshine will follow. Around 8’C though chillier once the rain clears. Also quite windy with a short spell of strong winds probable around lunchtime. Mostly clear skies overnight and we might just scrape a frost, down to around 0’C – a chance of fog patches by dawn also.

Any fog patches lifting fairly quickly on Friday morning to sunny spells, though as the morning goes on it will become hazier. The cloud will continue to thicken with outbreaks of rain arriving around 3/4pm, maybe 5pm. 8’C, becoming windier as the rain approaches. Rain crossing in the evening, likely heavy at times, if not very heavy, and a few heavy/very heavy showers will follow overnight. Strong winds in the evening, fading after the main rain band clears, still around 8’C.

Saturday looks quite showery, the showers possibly heavy/very heavy at times, more so in the morning, fewer and less heavy showers around in the afternoon. Generally quite cloudy, though some sunny spells. Breezy but milder, 11’C. Clear spells at first overnight but cloud and rain spreading across after midnight. Around 8’C.

Some uncertainty on details for Sunday, but broadly speaking probably on the cloudy side, some rain probable in the morning, brighter skies possible in the afternoon – but I wouldn’t want to promise it. Milder, around 12’C or so. Showers possible overnight.

We should get a brief rest on Monday as a ridge of high pressure pushes up – but the next low pressure systems will be on their way.

So Monday is probably drier and brighter – though I wouldn’t want to 100% promise this right now, as the next low pressure system will be on its way. Milder, around 12’C. Most likely rain arrives overnight, likely heavy and persistent – with strong winds.

Tuesday, again some uncertainty due to the development of Monday’s low, but probably will see further rain at times. Mild, around 13’C. Strong winds very possible.

After that, we probably see the high pressure block continue to develop further east – weather fronts will still get through, but with less heavy and patchier rain – think longer dry spells with some rain at times.

Likely remaining mild, say 11’C by day, and generally quite breezy. Overnight frosts unlikely.

Enjoy the end of the week and your weekend.
