Bored of the cold already? Then you will like my forecast.
As quite often happens, the UK is playing host to a weather battleground - this time we have a strong area of high pressure to the east over Europe, and milder but wet weather trying to push in from the Atlantic.
Had it been much colder, then there would be a good chance of snow - and this kind of set-up is how I think we will get the majority of our wintry weather this winter...in January and February. I still think December is most likely to be mild.
It was 11.6'C today in Reading, and was a chilly 1.2'C at the minimum this morning.
Tonight won't be quite as cold as mild air is spreading from the west, but it will still be chilly around 3'C.
Friday will feel much better, with a southerly wind forming, albeit taking air from a chilly continent so not quite the heat source it was a few weeks ago, but it will feel less cold at 14'C and there should be some sunny spells, some cloud too though. 8'C overnight.
Saturday should be gloriously sunny, still only 14'C though.
Sunday should remain sunny again, a band of rain is trying to push in from the west but it will decay by time it gets anywhere near Reading and maybe even pushed back west so those of us in Reading should stay sunny and you might feel rather warm at 18'C, ooh!
Monday and a new band of rain tries to come in from the south-west but again is being held back, and it should again stay mostly sunny in Reading, perhaps clouding over later, 17'C quite possible.
Monday night and into Tuesday morning will see this band of rain crossing, so expect a fair few hours of rain, 14'C on Tuesday as it brightens up in the afternoon with the odd shower possible to follow.
The rest of the week should remain mild, though there will likely be some more spells of rain, nothing too significant but enough.
Not too bad I think.
