UK long range weather forecast

Cloudy in the north on Monday and Tuesday with some rain at times, heaviest and most prolonged in the far north. Elsewhere the fine, dry and warm spell from the weekend likely continuing. Increasingly unsettled and cooler from the middle of next week with some rain expected for most areas, but particularly so in the north and west, where some spells of heavy and persistent rain are possible at times. Later next week further spells of wind and rain are possible, particularly in the northwest, but perhaps generally drier with lighter winds in the south and east. A chance of coastal gales at times. Temperatures probably remaining close to average, with a low chance in the south that warm air could linger for a time.

Updated:

An unsettled start to the period, with potentially a wetter than average spell, but still with some drier interludes between periods of rain. Gales or severe gales possible at times, but no more than expected for the time of year. Later in the period there is a possibility that longer settled periods may develop, along with an enhanced risk of overnight fog. Temperatures likely milder than average overall with reduced risk of overnight frost.
