High-pressure system develops over Scandinavia and Russia, affecting UK weather

A strong high-pressure system is developing over Scandinavia and Russia, leading to an easterly airflow affecting the UK. However, temperatures in these regions are milder than usual, meaning the air reaching the UK will not be extremely cold. While the weather will become chillier, with daytime highs around 5°C and nighttime lows below freezing, this is typical for February. The conditions are not expected to be severe, unlike the extreme cold experienced in early January. Most of the UK will see settled weather, with some cloudiness expected over the weekend. Areas in the north and west may enjoy more sunshine. Changes could occur later in the month if the high pressure persists.
