There should be some decent spells of dry weather. Fairly mild during the day but chillier later. Winds veering to the west and northwest during the evening and overnight and we may see gusts in excess of 60mph tonight. Showers are possible overnight and these may be heavy and have a wintry flavour.

Sunday: Gales from the west-northwest or northwest on Sunday bringing a much colder feel with a mix of cloud and brighter spells along with a risk of one or two showers, but the vast majority of the day should be dry. Winds could gust towards 65 or 70mph. Temperatures up to 7c. The northwesterly gale may continue into the evening and for a time overnight, then easing later in the night.

Monday: After a dry and bright start, cloud may thicken during the morning with some cloudy and damp weather from about lunchtime onwards. Moderate to fresh winds from a westerly quarter, backing southwest later. Milder overnight.

Tuesday: Tuesday may also see plenty of cloud and mild temperatures, with moderate winds from the west or southwest, but it may stay mostly dry.

Outlook: The mild, southwesterly theme continues on Christmas Day, perhaps with plenty of cloud, but it may also be mostly dry. More of the same on Boxing Day with cloud amounts uncertain but winds may be light to moderate and from the southwest. Perhaps not much breeze on Friday with a higher chance of some sunshine.

Extended Outlook: The outlook for the period from Saturday 28th December to Tuesday 31st December ... is for high pressure to be more influential during the first half of the period bringing mosty dry weather. There could be some clearer skies. The high may give way to low pressure later in the period.
