You’ll be needing a cosy coat this morning.

But while Valentine’s Day will be cold and bright, with frost on the way after dark on Monday, forecasters are predicting temperatures could warm up to around 14C by midweek.

All in all, there’s an unsettled few days ahead with wet and windy conditions clouding the majority of the forecast.

While Monday night will start off cold with mostly clear skies and a touch of frost as temperatures dip back to between zero and three degrees, it will turn milder overnight with rain developing along Atlantic coasts before midnight and spreading nationwide before morning.

Rain and windy conditions will clear from most areas during Tuesday morning to leave it largely dry for a time with bright spells and a few showers. However, a further spell of rain will extend from the Atlantic later in the day, with temperatures ranging from nine to 11 degrees in the south.

The biggest change occurs on Tuesday night when forecasters predict it will turn “very mild overnight”.

“Wednesday looks set to be a windy and mild day with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Some bright or sunny spells will occur, mainly across the south of the country.

Highest temperatures will range from 11 to 14 degrees on Wednesday, dropping once again on Wednesday night with clear spells and scattered showers, some of hail later on.
