UK long range weather forecast
It will be unsettled with further spells of wind and rain, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. Wintry showers are possible further north, mainly over hills, but they could fall to lower levels. There will be an ongoing risk of gales, and should deep low pressure systems form, severe gales to storm force winds are possible. Continuing through the period, further wet and windy weather is likely, especially in the north, before more settled conditions start to develop from the south at the end of this period. Temperatures are likely to frequently oscillate between rather cold and rather mild. During any colder interludes, there is likely to be some snow on the high ground of the north.
Updated:
A continuation of the unsettled weather is expected at first in the north, with spells of rain and strong winds broken by brighter, but showery conditions. The heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected in the northwest. It should be more settled with drier conditions in southern and eastern parts. Progressing through this period, conditions will likely turn more settled across most areas by the middle of March, with more prolonged dry spells possible, especially in the south. Any further spells of wet and windy weather most likely in the north. Temperatures mostly above average, but there will be large diurnal variations should more settled conditions take control, with frosts becoming likely.
