UK: Warmer air to arrive as shoppers hit the sales on Boxing Day

Following a chilly Christmas Day for many, the forecast is looking more pleasant for shoppers heading out to Boxing Day sales.

Similar to the weather on 25 December, low cloud and patchy morning fog are predicted across Northern Ireland, eastern Wales, Southern England, the Midlands and into northern England.

Motorists hustling out across Cardiff, London, Manchester, Oxford and Leeds will need to drive with care as the conditions will limit visibility.

For much of the day, misty spells will be likely across the northwestern coast of England, western coast of Wales and the southwestern coast of Scotland.

Meanwhile, much of Scotland will be overcast with scattered showers from Glasgow and Edinburgh northward.

Those spending time outside will want to bring along a brolly to avoid being caught out.

For many, Boxing Day will be warmer than Christmas, with maximum temperatures reaching around 10 C for western and southern Scotland and western and southern England and Wales.

Winter coats and scarves will be a necessity across the whole of Northern Ireland, as temperatures hover in the single digits on 26 December.

Meanwhile, temperatures from eastern England into eastern Scotland will sit just below 10 C.
