UK long range weather forecast

Sunday will bring a day of sunshine and showers with brisk winds, strongest in the north, with lighter winds further south. This autumnal trend of changeable conditions is set to continue through the first half of this period. However, with time, it looks like we will see lengthier drier spells between Atlantic frontal systems later into the period, perhaps more so further south and east. By way of contrast, areas further north and west will probably remain more unsettled with occasional rain and stronger winds at times. There is a chance of a more widely settled spell towards the end of the period, potentially bringing drier conditions further north, Temperatures likely to be above average, with a chance of chilly nights accompanied by mist or fog patches in settled conditions.

Updated:

A slowly evolving weather pattern is considered more likely through this period, though with a typical mix of settled and unsettled spells of weather. Within the more settled periods it is possible that northern parts will receive below average rainfall, with the south possibly receiving above average rainfall. Temperatures are more likely to be above average than below average overall, but with chilly nights in settled conditions.
