As England wakes up to a second national lockdown, the weather will be dry for most across the country, albeit foggy and frosty in some places.

While these relatively dense mist and fog patches will linger in the south and in London, they will slowly clear for sunny spells later on today, according to the Met Office.

A chill will remain in the air as the UK prepares for a biting cold November, while the northwest will see some cloudier weather as the day goes on with a light bit of drizzle.

Looking ahead to this evening, it will remain cold in the south with some frost in the air.

The UK looks set to experience a freezing Bonfire Night, with the Met Office predicting lows of -3C.

Meanwhile, parts of Scotland have seen fresh snowfall throughout the week.

The cloudier conditions for north and northwest will hold off frost and fog in some places. 

Though fog patches will develop throughout the day across central and eastern areas and in Northern Ireland, according to the Met Office.

Particularly in the south, frost will linger later on while fog and mist patches will return overnight across central and eastern areas.

This mist will clear going into Friday morning for reliable sunshine across the southwest and northeast Scotland.

As we near the first weekend of lockdown, sunny spells are predicted after some initial frost and fog which will turn milder and cloudier across the south.

And people should prepare for rain in some places on Sunday.
