It said: "High pressure will dominate the weather early in the week. With a relatively cold air mass within the high pressure, it probably won’t be a repeat of the relentless anticyclonic gloom that many of us had during the first half of November, but sunshine amounts are likely to be variable, with overnight fog and low cloud potentially persisting through the day in some regions.

"Temperatures early in the week are likely to be generally below normal except in northern and western Scotland. There is potential for the weather to turn milder, wetter and more changeable from the west late in the week with southerly and south-westerly winds and high pressure moving away to the south-east, but it is currently uncertain whether this change will arrive late in Week 3 or nearer mid-December.

"Overall, temperatures are likely to be near or below average during this week, with the south and east of England most likely to be colder than average, possibly by up to 2C, while north-western Britain is most likely to have near average temperatures. It will probably be drier than average for the majority of the UK, but sunshine is likely to be rather variable due to some areas seeing persistent low cloud at times and others being predominantly sunny. It is likely to turn generally cloudier towards the end of the week."
