The first cold spell of the winter is just a week away. Ooh how exciting!
But there is wind and rain to get through first - the weekend storms gave an impressive wind gust of 114mph in some Scottish island. It won't be like that in Reading but there will be something noticeable.
Tonight will see increasing wind, increasing cloud but also increasing temperatures up to 12'C - milder than the day. And some patchy light rain at times.
Tuesday will be windy with gales and a band of heavy rain in the afternoon and into the evening. Mild though at 13'C, chilly overnight at around 4'C.
Wednesday will be fairly cloudy with some light showery rain possible, more rain likely overnight which could be heavy, 11'C by day, 9'C by night. Remaining quite windy.
Thursday is a tricky one, there will be heavy rain to the south but probably not quite reaching as far north as Reading, but assuming we miss the rain then showers are still likely. A mild 13'C by day but a chilly 1'C overnight once the cloud and showers clear.
Friday will be sunny with a brief ridge of high pressure but only 7'C. Cloud and rain overnight and windy, gales possible later, maybe up to 9'C in the rain and wind though.
Saturday will start quite mild but with rain - once this clears it will brighten up with the odd light shower possible but remain windy and it could be quite chilly in the wind which is originating in the Arctic though the cold air is way far away at this stage. 11'C by say, 5'C by night.
Sunday will be quite cloudy at times and there will possibly be a couple of bands of showers coming down from the north-west, or maybe even the north. 7'C at best but cooler in the showers, 1'C overnight but feeling much colder in the wind. Don't be surprised if there is something a little wintry in any showers but I am talking sleet/hail - don't get too excited snow-lovers.
Monday will be proper cold, compared to what we are used to anyway, possibly no higher than 3'C. Cold enough for snow - but in reality any snow will be reserved for Scotland and northern coasts of England - for Reading it is unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely. A proper frost overnight - down to anywhere like -5'C.
Tuesday will again be cold. Anything could happen in the way of weather - most likely it will be dry and sunny. But it ain't guaranteed.
Later next week I expect more wind and rain.
During the middle part of December I expect it to become dry again but cool with frosts and fog possible too.
And rain for Christmas.
I'll let you know later in the week if the chance of something wintry for early next week has upgraded - these things often do at very short notice...you never know ;-)
