UK Endures Prolonged 'Anticyclonic Gloom' with Little Sunshine

High pressure has trapped moisture, causing persistent cloudy and foggy conditions across the UK, with limited relief expected soon.

The UK has experienced minimal sunshine due to 'anticyclonic gloom,' a weather pattern where high pressure traps moisture, resulting in prolonged cloudiness and fog.
Northern Ireland has seen record-breaking mild temperatures during this period, with some areas reaching over 17°C, significantly above the November average.
Despite rumors of an impending Arctic blast, the Met Office has dismissed claims of imminent snow, forecasting average temperatures with no significant cold spell expected soon.
While the gloomy weather has been widespread, areas like Scotland have received slightly more sunshine compared to the rest of the UK.
A change in weather is anticipated early next week, with brighter skies expected to emerge, although cloud cover may increase again mid-week.
