UK Outlook for Sunday 17 Feb 2013 to Tuesday 26 Feb 2013: Updated: 1157 on Tue 12 Feb 2013
Predominantly dry weather is likely to prevail over the UK through much of this period, although sunshine amounts will vary from day to day. As we move towards the middle of the first week, northern and northwestern parts of the UK may become somewhat more unsettled with rain or sleet at times, although any snow is likely to be confined to the hills at first. East and southeast Britain may also encounter a few wintry showers on occasion. In terms of temperatures, most places will be close to normal at first, with no more than patchy frost by night, but a downward trend is likely later in February, with frost becoming more widespread and daytimes feeling rather cold.
