The first few days of December brought lots of sunshine and night frosts. Since then it has turned wet and sometimes very windy. Because of the changeable weather, the temperatures have increased to well above the normal. No sign of snow yet . . .

Outlook

However, in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.
