Sharp frosts and lovely sunny skies but less colder air and rain will return soon – Thursday 20th November 2025 – Sunday 23rd November 2025

Hi all,

Our first early taste of winter this week. It’s autumn still of course but we’ve had some frost and hill-snow and further frosty nights await.

Will milder air return? Yes, less cold into the weekend and eventually rain will be back but will it last?

I ventured up to Greenbooth Reservoir today to try and find some snow. The snow-line was around 900ft and you could tell it was mostly wet-snow that had fallen overnight and then was gradually melting as the cloud cleared and the sun came out.

Thursday: A sharp frost to start and a sharp frost to end. But during the day it’ll be a cracker with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. It’ll be quite breezy for a few hours and this will really take the edge off the temperature making it feel sub-zero. Max 4°C Min -5°C Max Gusts 20mph

Friday: Another dry and decent day with plenty of sunny spells after a harsh frost. The frost is likely to persist in the shade all day. However, there is change on the way and cloud will arrive and thicken from the west later in the day. Overnight, milder air will slowly filter in and winds will pickup slightly and patchy rain will arrive which might fall initially as sleet and snow on the tops, but it will not last long. No frost overnight. Max 3°C Min 1°C

Sharp frosts overnight Wednesday and Thursday

Weekend: Milder and some rain likely.

Saturday: Cloudy with patchy rain which should become heavier later in the day as winds increase and become quite gusty into the evening. Less cold but still feeling particularly chilly due to the conditions. Max 9°C Min 5°C Max Gusts 25mph

Sunday: After the sunshine of Thursday and Friday, it’s a disappointing weekend overall, with Sunday being similar to Saturday, plenty of cloud about and some rain at times. Damp and chilly but winds should be slightly lighter. Max 8°C Min 5°C

Cloudy with some rain at times this weekend, but there will be drier spells in between and less cold.

Outlook: The outlook does not include much sunshine by the looks of it. Temperatures hovering around average with mostly cloudy conditions and rain at times. Due to the cloud cover frosts overnight look limited. As we head into December, there’s a lot of excitement about colder conditions, but this far out is impossible to say. This time next week I could well have more of an idea of when the next cold snap is coming.

Thanks for reading as always, much appreciated.
