UK long range weather forecast
While briefly more settled for a time at the start of the period, with the odd shower in the east, conditions are set to become changeable again. By mid-next week there is an increasing likelihood of thicker cloud bringing rain to northwestern areas, with stronger winds. Thundery outbursts across the south possible ahead of more unsettled conditions which are likely to spread slowly southeastwards through the latter part of next week. Beyond this it is likely to remain changeable; confidence is low in terms of detail, but most places will likely see showers or longer rain spells, interspersed with some drier, more settled periods. Some strong winds are possible at times, especially in the northwest. Temperatures are most likely to be around average, perhaps warm in the east and southeast.
Updated:
Although confidence is very low through this period, a continuation of changeable conditions is most likely. Some more settled weather may develop, particularly towards the north and northeast of the UK. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the potential for hotter weather later in the month with rainfall most likely below average.
