This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the weekend 11/12/2025. It’ll turn mild again this weekend after a chilly start on Saturday. We’re looking at more rain and warnings in parts of the west but some eastern areas will have a fair bit of winter sun. Bringing you this weekend’s weather forecast is Alex Deakin
00:00Hello, there is more rain to come this weekend. For some it's going to be very wet, but not everywhere.
00:05For some it'll be, by and large, a fine weekend, and everywhere it's going to be fairly mild.
00:11Now, I say it's going to be fairly mild, but probably the lowest temperatures we'll encounter this weekend will be on Saturday morning,
00:17because on Friday night a cold front is moving through, introducing something a bit chillier.
00:22But out in the Atlantic and way up in the sky, the jet stream is very lively indeed.
00:28And bringing with it lots of low pressure systems, lots of weather fronts, and tightly packed isobars,
00:34which means it's going to be pretty wet, especially in these western areas,
00:38as these weather fronts dance in through Saturday night and into Sunday.
00:42And those isobars squeezing together, telling us the winds are always going to be fairly brisk.
00:47But those winds are also coming in from the southwest.
00:50So yes, it may be a little fresh first thing Saturday morning, but then the milder air seeps in,
00:55particularly as we go through Saturday night and into Sunday, tucked in here, call that a warm sector.
01:01And that's going to bring those temperatures again back up over double figures for most of us by Sunday afternoon.
01:07But let's get back to Saturday morning, because it will be a bit of a chilly start,
01:11something we've not seen for a while, certainly not much of these kind of numbers for most of December.
01:17Pockets of frost likely across southern counties of England, and I say frosts definitely have been in short supply.
01:23Could be a little bit of mist and even a few fog patches around across the south early on on Saturday too,
01:28which may take a while to clear.
01:30First of those weather fronts coming into northwest Scotland, bringing a very wet day along the west coast.
01:35Increasingly, the cloud will bring some outbreaks of rain to northern Ireland and patchy rain coming into maybe north Wales and the far north of England.
01:43But actually, most of England and Wales will be dry and bright.
01:45Some sunshine around, certainly early on.
01:48That sunshine may turn a little hazy by the end of the day.
01:51Those winds are bringing in that milder air.
01:53So after a bit of a chilly start, temperatures by the afternoon still generally double figures.
01:59Many places, a degree or so above average, 10 to 12 degrees.
02:03That's a few degrees above average in northern and western Scotland.
02:06But obviously not feeling all that pleasant with the wind and the rain.
02:09And it won't stop there.
02:11This batch of wet weather will get pepped up as another weather system comes in hot on its heels.
02:18That's going to bring further rain to northern Ireland, western Scotland and northwest England during Saturday night and into Sunday morning.
02:25And then that's likely to dip south into parts of Wales for Sunday.
02:29So we have Met Office yellow warnings in place because it's been so wet.
02:33Extra rain falling, particularly on the hills, that then comes down and fills up the rivers, likely to cause some further disruption.
02:39So we have three Met Office yellow warnings in place over the hills.
02:4380, in some places maybe 100 millimetres of rain could fall.
02:47So that's the situation to start with on Sunday.
02:50Still large parts of the south and east will be dry on Sunday morning.
02:53And a good part of eastern England staying dry and fine throughout the day.
02:57But there's the rain slowly edging southward.
02:59So it may turn a bit drier in western Scotland and northern Ireland for the afternoon.
03:04A bit of uncertainty about where this weather front is going to lie.
03:06Could be a bit further north, could be a bit further south.
03:08But those rainfalls likely to build up over the hills, particularly of Cumbria and north Wales.
03:14As I said, further south and east, many places staying dry and fairly breezy.
03:19But mild to those temperatures back up into the teens in some locations.
03:24It may turn a little fresher in the northwest as some blustery showers compiling in later here on Sunday.
03:29It's likely to stay mild as we go through much of next week as well.
03:33Do keep up to date with the forecast.
03:35You can check out those warnings for yourself on the Met Office app and website.
