The Met Office seem to be indicating the upcoming northerly will be
rather unimpressive in the south, with temperatures barely below
average on Thursday and Friday, with only Saturday showing clearly
below-average temperatures - Sunday is perhaps a degree below. Are
they over-estimating these temperatures or is this spell going to be
rather unimpressive down here?

Depends where you are in the "south" Nick.
Northerlies are often snowy up here on Dartmoor as we pull in showers off
the Bristol Channel or off the Irish Sea in a "dangler" if there is a bit of
west in the wind or any trough will give us more persistent snow. Always
snow in a northerly rather than rain at this time of year due to altitude.
I'm sure this one will deliver in the SW.
