UK long range weather forecast
The start of this period is likely to see an unsettled regime, with showers which could be heavy with the risk of thunder, and potentially some longer spells of rain. The wettest conditions are likely in the north and west, although still with some showers towards the southeast. Fresh to strong winds are likely at times, especially near western and southern coasts. Temperatures around average to rather cool, especially in more persistent rain or showers. Through the rest of this period, a similar theme is likely to continue with a mixture of showers and longer spells of rain, especially towards the northwest, along with some drier interludes, these perhaps becoming slightly more likely towards the southeast. Temperatures mostly around normal for the time of year.
Updated:
This period may start with a continuation of unsettled conditions, with a mixture of scattered showers and longer spells of rain, especially towards the northwest. However, there is a slightly higher chance of longer more settled interludes developing towards the southeast. Towards the middle of the month, these may develop into a gradual settling down of conditions overall with longer periods of drier weather and more sunshine compared with previous weeks. However, confidence is limited and unsettled spells are still possible. Temperatures may be near or below average at first, however improving conditions through the period may bring a gradual upward trend in temperatures, with a slightly higher than normal chance of above average temperatures by the end of the period.
