UK long range weather forecast
The beginning of this period should see fine and settled conditions continue, with a potential for some showers towards the south and west of the UK. Temperatures are likely to become warmer again through the first half of the week with some patchy frost overnight. Looking further ahead, it is likely that the drier weather will continue, however, there may be spells of wet and windy weather at times. These more changeable periods are most likely across southern England, with northwestern areas seeing the best of the drier conditions. Temperatures are likely to see a large day and night variation, with mild days giving way to chilly nights and a risk of frost in the north.
Updated:
Although confidence is low during this time period, the most probable scenario is that dry weather should dominate, with some interludes of more changeable weather at times. Towards the end of the period, there appears to be some signals that it may be more unsettled towards the north of the UK, with drier weather to the south. Temperatures are likely to vary around the average or even slightly above, with some large variations between day and night.
