Wednesday, 19th November 2025

Forecast: Dry with sunshine this afternoon. Cold, especially on high roads. Mostly dry with lengthy clear periods overnight, although the chance of an area of cloud sinking southwards during the early hours of the night may bring the odd snow flurry. RSTs falling below zero with the risk of icy patches where roads remain damp over higher ground. Elsewhere, breezy conditions and low dew points will keep roads largely dry, although a touch of frost cannot be ruled out. Dry with sunny periods tomorrow morning. Confidence is reduced due to some uncertainty in snow amounts overnight.
