UK long range weather forecast
An unsettled picture for Wednesday with blustery showers and bright spells. Showers may merge to longer spells of rain in the south, some turning heavy with a risk of thunder and hail. Further north, staying windy with a chance for some wintry showers over the hills. The changeable theme looks to continue over the next few weeks with showers or longer spells of rain throughout. Any drier interludes are likely to be short-lived in any one place. Temperatures look likely to dip below normal, increasing the risk of wintry showers further north. There is also a low risk of widespread snow on the northern edge of rain bands. Strong winds are possible across the UK, with risk of coastal gales. Frost and freezing fog possible too, particularly in the north.
Updated:
A more changeable spell is expected towards the end of December, with the greatest potential for heavy rain in the south and east at first, with any snow becoming confined to northern hills. A more typical northwest/southeast split looks likely to develop into the New Year bringing rain to the northwest interspersed with showers, and drier periods further south. This could be accompanied by a general upturn in temperatures, as well as the risk of strong winds at times.
