UK long range weather forecast

After a brighter start to the week than of late, likely turning cloudier again across many areas with a chance of some rain or showers at times, particularly in the north and east. Southwestern areas have the greatest chance of maintaining largely dry conditions. Temperatures around average but with a greater chance of mild conditions in the northwest and below average temperatures in the southeast. During next weekend and into the following week, there are signs that the influence of high pressure will decline to the west. This means many regions are likely turn unsettled, with northern and eastern areas probably having the most frequent spells of rain and showers. This also increases the likelihood of a spell of northerly winds and colder conditions.

Updated:

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely more unsettled than during early November. There is a greater chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These bringing some wetter and windier interludes followed by drier periods. Some colder interludes are possible but overall temperatures more likely to be around or above average.
