The predominantly south-westerly winds over the next few weeks will bring in spells of rain and areas of low pressure from time to time.
The wettest weather is expected to be over western hills. That means a change of fortune in Scotland, where up to now it has been extremely wet in eastern Scotland but drier than normal in the west of the country.
The recent snowfall will also melt rapidly as temperatures rise.
Given saturated ground in many parts of the UK and flood warnings, mainly in England, the risk of flooding will remain a concern well in to March.
