UK long range weather forecast
Unsettled at first with spells of rain affecting the UK at times. Some heavy rain is possible anywhere, but it is likely to be heaviest and most persistent in the west and northwest, with sheltered parts of the east and southeast typically drier. Any snow will probably be confined to high ground in the north. Strong winds are possible at times with a risk of gales, especially along coasts and over higher ground. Temperatures are likely to be above normal overall. Later in the period, conditions may start to become a little more settled, with rainfall amounts decreasing and drier weather becoming more prevalent, especially in the south. This may mean an increasing amount of overnight fog and frost.
Updated:
High pressure will probably become more influential across the UK during this period. This means an increasing incidence of dry weather compared to the winter so far, especially in the south. Spells of rain and strong winds remain possible, there most likely in the north. Snow will probably be confined to higher ground in the north. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal.
