UK long range weather forecast

A weather regime dominated by westerly or northwestly winds is likely at first. This bringing rain and showers at times interspersed with periods of more settled weather. The north and west will most likely be the focus of any wetter and windier weather, where there may be some prolonged spells of rain at times. The highest chance of more prolonged drier and sunnier weather is expected across southern parts of the country. During early August, high pressure may start to have greater influence as it builds northeast across the country. This bringing more prolonged settled spells to many areas. Breeziest conditions across the north of the country. Temperatures generally near average though with some warmer spells likely.

Updated:

While westerly winds will bring changeable conditions at times, some settled spells are likely to develop during August. These bringing more prolonged dry and sunny weather, especially across the south of the country but potentially spreading to all areas at times. Temperatures will likely be near or above average overall. There is a chance of some very warm or hot spells, especially in the south and east.
