Rain should clear up throughout the day, with "brighter conditions" expected for the north though teamed with "chilly northerly winds".
Tonight's firework aficionados will enjoy mainly clear weather.
Met Office said: "A chilly night with a touch of frost likely. Most parts will see clear spells, but with a few showers for the far east of Britain.
"Cloud and further showers arriving in the far west later."
Some "showery rain" is forecast in East Anglia and the south east on Tuesday evening, so it could be wet and windy for any firework displays.
A few showers will be seen on the North Sea coast too, but for many it will be fine but cold.
The Met Office said the wind will be easing off but the breeze is coming down from the north, bringing low temperatures.

Following the recent period of "unsettled weather" which has seen floods and high winds batter the UK, November will plunge us further into chilly temperatures, averaging between 1C and 3C.
Those heading out to bonfires and fireworks displays tonight should wrap up warmly as nighttime temperatures could dip to as low as 2C.
On the south coast, temperatures will be as high as 11C, with the coolest temperatures expected in Scotland.
The news comes as an arctic plunge is set to strike this week, with Scotland facing snow on high ground and ice worries, and 50mph gusts predicted in the south west.
A spokesperson for the Met Office also predicted that nearing mid-November, the south of England could see yet more showers.
And computer forecast models point to this November being the coldest since 2010, said The Weather Outlook.
