During the evening an easterly breeze brings cloud first to southeastern England and then further to central England and Wales, with the chance of some isolated showers in the far southeast of England. However, parts of the far north of England, Northern Ireland as well as much of Scotland will remain clear overnight and it is here where a frost is likely to develop. The lowest overnight temperatures are likely to be observed in northern England or in southern and eastern Scotland. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the evening of 06/02/2025.

00:00Hi there, with high pressure sitting across the UK on Thursday, we saw plenty of sunshine
00:05but that's not going to be the case over the next few days in many places as the high relocates
00:11to Scandinavia and allows an easterly wind to arrive into many parts of the country,
00:16particularly the south where we've already seen the effects of that, patchy cloud arriving
00:19overnight and an increased breeze. That means there'll be a few showers in the southeast
00:25and it'll be less frosty as we wake up on Friday across parts of England and Wales,
00:29although where we keep some clear skies, where we keep lighter winds, there will be a frost
00:34and for Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England, certainly a frost and some fog patches
00:38in places. But that's where we see the best of the sunshine first thing Friday, widespread
00:42clear skies across the far north, the west, into central Scotland, Northern Ireland, western
00:47fringes of England and Wales, but elsewhere, thickening cloud all the while, outbreaks
00:52of showery rain moving through, reaching parts of Wales and the southwest by the afternoon,
00:57some sleet mixed in, perhaps even some hill snow, feeling cold in the easterly wind, 4
01:01or 5 Celsius in places, but a pleasant afternoon once again for northern and western Scotland
01:07in particular with beautiful blue skies. Now we keep the east to southeasterly winds going
01:12into the weekend. This low moves up on Friday and into the start of Saturday, bringing that
01:18thicker cloud, bringing outbreaks of rain, sleet and hill snow and there'll be some milder
01:24air mixed in as well, so a real mix of wintry weather, but it's predominantly the hills,
01:30so perhaps a sprinkling of snow over the Chilterns and the Downs, but more especially the moors
01:35of the southwest and the Welsh mountains could see a covering of snow by the start of Saturday.
01:40At lower levels, it's mainly rain and sleet, but it's going to be a grey and damp start
01:45for many on Saturday morning. Once more, northern and western Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland
01:50experiencing the best of any bright weather, a touch of frost, one or two fog patches first thing.
01:54But you can see how extensive the cloud becomes during the weekend, many parts of the UK affected
02:00by the grey skies, the best of any brightness remaining towards the northwest and the west,
02:06but it will be gloomy I think and damp for many. Any lying snow mostly affecting the hills
02:12and mountains of Wales and England, otherwise it's cold rain or sleet and it will feel cold
02:18in the easterly 5 to 7 Celsius. A similar day is expected on Sunday and in fact we keep
02:25similar conditions into the start of next week, so a cold easterly but not one of the
02:29very cold easterlies you might expect to happen for the time of year and there will be some
02:36rain and sleet at times as well.
