UK long range weather forecast
The last weekend in August and into September is likely to be dominated by high pressure resulting in fine and settled weather across the UK. This will bring variable amounts of cloud, sunny spells, a few light showers and mainly light winds but some fog patches overnight, which clear during early morning. It looks increasingly likely that these settled conditions will persist through much of this period, with perhaps weak frontal systems bringing some light rain and showers at times. Winds likely to be light to moderate for most, with breezier conditions towards the edge of the high pressure in the far south, where it may feel cooler. Temperatures are likely to be rather warm in the west but near average and cool in the east below any persistent cloud.
Updated:
Confidence decreasing into this period, however there is a signal for high pressure and associated settled conditions to gradually become less dominant, with a trend towards more unsettled conditions. This may bring changeable conditions with periods of showers and longer spells of rain, interspersed with drier spells at times. Temperatures are likely to be above average for the time of the year.
