UK long range weather forecast
On Friday, wintry showers likely to affect northern areas, becoming lighter and less frequent through the day, while elsewhere expected to be dry with plenty of sunshine. Windy in the north initially, elsewhere likely much lighter than previous days. Heavy rain may return to the northwest and windy for most, with gales possible in the west and northwest at the weekend. Through the rest of this period high pressure will likely dominate across most of the UK. Rainfall will be limited at first with a risk of some wintry showers in the north and east, with an increasing chance of rain in western and northwestern areas later. Temperatures likely to be near average with the potential for a brief colder interlude for northern and eastern parts.
Updated:
A north-south split is expected to continue through the end of February and into early March. Low pressure systems are likely to impact the north of the UK, at times these depressions could deepen and lead to a threat of further storms across the north, these will be interspersed with colder interludes. Towards the north temperatures are expected to be near average with rain and strong winds as well as some brief colder spells. The south is expected to be milder and drier with more settled conditions overall. Any low pressure systems affecting the south are likely to be fewer and weaker than those impacting the north.
