Mostly south or southwesterly winds, but not overly mild

High rainfall over England and Wales on Monday will lead to renewed flooding concerns in western areas. Although the outlook stays unsettled, there will be a fair amount of dry weather through central and eastern areas through midweek. Temperatures will be close to seasonal averages, with some slight frosts in rural spots, but overnight lows will generally stay above freezing for most places.
