Staying largely clear this evening, with showers fading. Under clear skies fog and frost patches may form overnight. Becoming cloudy from the west from dawn ahead of a rain band. Minimum Temperature 3C.

Wed 17 Dec North West England

Turning increasingly unsettled with strengthening winds as a rain band spreads eastwards bringing prolonged and often heavy downpours through much of the day, with coastal gales and localised flooding possible. Maximum Temperature 11C.

Thu 18 Dec North West England

Sun 21 Dec North West England

The unsettled theme is likely to continue through the first part of this period, with further rain or showers affecting many parts at times, and often accompanied by rather windy conditions. In the run up to Christmas, there is a signal for less unsettled conditions to begin to take hold, with a greater chance of high pressure developing in the vicinity of the UK compared to the previous few weeks. Whilst the chance of impactful rain or strong winds should reduce, there may be an increasing incidence of overnight frost and fog, the latter perhaps taking its time to clear, given the time of year. A gradual reduction in temperatures seems likely, falling closer to average overall. Some cold days are possible, if or where any fog persists.
