The BBC Weather team reports increasing cloud cover in northern and western areas tomorrow, with showers arriving from the west, while the south-east will remain mostly dry and bright. By Thursday evening, wet conditions will spread to the south-west.
Looking ahead to Thursday through Saturday, the outlook predicts a wet and breezy night as rain moves across the UK, though the far north may stay dry. Rain will clear by Thursday evening, followed by mostly dry but dull conditions on Friday before rain returns to the south-west along with strengthening winds. Saturday is expected to be unsettled and showery.
Netweather TV notes that the UK’s weather in the first half of December will be dominated by successive low-pressure systems from the Atlantic, bringing frequent showers, heavy rainfall at times, and the risk of flooding especially in western regions. Strong winds and possibly named storms are also anticipated.
Temperatures will generally hover around or slightly above average, with snow mostly confined to northern hills during colder polar maritime influences.
For the latter half of the month, there may be a continuation of unsettled Atlantic weather or the development of blocking high pressure systems that could lead to more settled, colder conditions with frost and wintry precipitation becoming more likely.
