UK long range weather forecast
The period begins generally unsettled, albeit with lighter winds than of late, but still accompanied by showers or longer spells of rain for most. Towards the bank holiday weekend, these spells of rain and wind may perhaps become more confined towards eastern areas, with the driest conditions mostly likely in the west and south. Although, the southwest may see some further spells of wind and rain at first. Temperatures should be near or slightly below the average for this time of year, with a potential for some frost overnight, but otherwise feeling warm in any sunnier spells. Although confidence is low into September, it is likely that the first part will see a transition into a more zonal pattern, with the north unsettled and the south generally drier and warmer.
Updated:
Although confidence is low for this period, it likely that the south will see the best of the drier and warmer conditions whilst northern areas, in particular the northwest, will see more unsettled weather. However, it is possible for unsettled conditions or drier spells to spread into all parts of the UK at times. Temperatures should be around the average, with a potential for some warmer spells in southern and eastern areas.
