We definitely have an interesting week's weather coming up this week, though not a patch on last year when it was struggling to reach 0'C during the day - we struggle to get anywhere close to that at night at the moment!
But it is definitely going to have a feel of winter during the next week or so, at times.
Snow is not out of the question.
Tonight will see rain clearing and with clear skies later it could end up quite chilly, 1'C.
Friday will be the first cold winter day of the season, probably no higher than 5'C but it will at least be sunny, during the day. The evening will see increasing winds and a band of rain later in the evening and overnight, but it will be milder, 9'C.
Saturday will start cloudy but should brighten up, it should stay dry although breezy, 11'C by day, 4'C by night.
Sunday looks a mostly cloudy day and there is an interesting little feature developing which could bring a period of heavy rain in the evening and overnight - but it is not yet certain how far north it will go - Reading is on the borderline, just as it was today (Thursday 1st December). 8'C by day - similar overnight if raining, otherwise down to 2'C.
Monday will be a cold but sunny day, with winds from the north-west, it will be sunny and most probably be dry, 5'C by day and 1'C by night but feeling much colder in the wind. There will likely be some snow further north and towards the coasts, but Reading is way too far inland for it, unless something unexpected happens. Which it sometimes does, but I really do not think it will.
Tuesday will again be quite windy, it will start cold but gradually become less so, around 8'C and there will be outbreaks of rain towards the evening.
Wednesday looks set fair, still breezy, some sunshine, 8'C and 4'C overnight.
I am going to give you my forecast for Thursday, but I am only 50% confident of something like this.
Thursday by day will be wet and windy, 9'C. Colder air will quickly dig in behind and there may be a band of snow to follow as temperatures plunge quickly to -2'C.
It won't last. I am still expecting more wind and rain, with more generally mild weather, to be followed by high pressure and some frosty nights as we approach Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised to see some very pleasant days with temperatures up to 14'C a week before Christmas. I did also suggest that January would be more wintry and I stick to that. And maybe February too.
Another warmer than average spring though once it gets going.
