Elsewhere while rain is possible at times, drier and brighter conditions are more likely in the south and southeast regions, although some rain will likely reach even here at times.

Morning fog patches are also possible in these regions during this period.

A rather cold start to the period will likely be followed by a brief recovery in temperatures, before possible trend down later on in the month.

This would bring an increasing chance of some wintry conditions, mainly over the higher ground in the north, but with a slight risk to lower levels.

Towards the end of November and into early December there are signs of an increased likelihood of north to north-westerly winds.

This means that overall temperatures are likely to be near or slightly below average, although some milder spells cannot be ruled out.

In such patterns the most unsettled, wetter and windier conditions are often found across northern areas, while the most settled, driest and brightest conditions are predominantly across the south.

There is a slightly higher than normal chance of some wintry conditions, especially across the north. (Source: The Met Office)
