UK long range weather forecast
It is likely to be fairly settled initially with any rain, showers and hill snow confined to the peripheries of the country, within the largely settled areas frost and fog will likely be fairly prevalent. On balance it will then most likely transition to unsettled while remaining rather cold with further spells of rain and showers for most. A continued risk of snowfall, mostly over the hills in the north, but there is a risk of some snow falling to lower levels at times, again mostly in the north. Following the initial period of light winds, it is expected to be windy with coastal gales. A greater chance of some more settled interludes returning later in the period, with these allowing frost and fog to develop more widely once again.
Updated:
Confidence is very low during this period, with forecast signals weak and rather mixed. On balance, most likely to remain changeable with periods of more settled and unsettled weather both likely. As such outbreaks of rain and showers likely at times, particularly in the west with some snowfall possible, but again most likely over the hills. Conversely periods of drier and more settled are probable, which would bring more widespread overnight frosts along with some fog patches. Temperatures will overall most likely be near, or a little below average, although some short-lived milder interludes are possible in the unsettled spells.
