UK long range weather forecast

The confidence is lower than usual for the weather pattern affecting the UK for this forecast period. Variable clouds, rain and milder weather moving erratically northeast across the country is most probable at the start of the period with colder, drier but often cloudy weather ahead of it. This will set up a split in conditions between the southwest and northeast which could persist throughout, and lasting later in the period. The unsettled conditions will dominate at times; however, an overall tendency for colder, drier and more settled weather is slightly favoured. Strong southeasterly winds at times. Temperatures will stay around average to rather cold, although probably oscillating between warmer and colder spells throughout the forecast period.

Updated:

This period is most likely to be characterised by winds from a generally southwest, to southeast direction, and a battle between low pressure and more unsettled, wet and windy conditions arriving from the Atlantic, and drier, more settled and perhaps at times cooler conditions from the nearby continent. Rainfall through the period most likely around average overall, although significant local and temporal variations are possible. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, although colder spells remain possible.
