"UK Outlook for Friday 13 Nov 2009 to Sunday 22 Nov 2009:
A mild and mostly strong to gale force south to southwesterly airstream is expected across the U.K. on Friday, with rain also spreading to most parts, this heaviest and most persistent in the northwest. Conditions look like continuing very unsettled throughout the weekend, too, with heavy rain or showers in most areas, accompanied at times by gales, severe gales, and perhaps even storm force winds in the northwest. Temperatures are expected to be generally near or a little above normal, especially in the south, and perhaps rather cold at times in the north, with snow possible over the Scottish mountains. There is considerable uncertainty through the remainder of the period, but it is most likely to remain quite unsettled, especially in northern and western areas.

Seasonal forecasting is a developing area of meteorology and, although these forecasts are not as accurate as our short-term forecasts, they do demonstrate some skill in predicting what may happen for a season (a three-month period) ahead.
The forecasts provide an estimation of broad trends in temperature and rainfall and will normally be expressed in probabilistic terms, with the more likely outcome highlighted. Information contained in these forecasts can allow business to plan ahead for weather that is forecast to be different from normal.
