## Key points

- High pressure is keeping Britain grey, misty and damp.
- Murky conditions may last until at least next Tuesday.
- Similar gloom in November 2024 lasted more than ten days.

## Summary

A high-pressure system has brought Britain a week of grey skies, mist, fog and drizzle, a pattern known as “anticyclonic gloom”. It matters because the still air and low cloud can keep conditions dull for days, despite the association between high pressure and sunny weather in summer.

Forecasts suggest the murky conditions will persist across much of the country until at least next Tuesday. London is expected to reach 10C or 11C by day and 7C to 8C overnight, while Birmingham is forecast to reach 8C to 11C, with lows of 5C to 6C. Similar conditions lasted more than ten days in November 2024, before storms Bert and Conall brought a sharp change.
