UK long range weather forecast
At the start of this period, there is a general north-south split to the weather, with wetter and windier conditions in the north, and drier and cloudier conditions in the south. More organised rain is expected to push southeastwards through Saturday, with brighter spells following. For the remainder of January, more showery and windy weather is likely to continue in the northwest with possible wintry showers over the higher ground of Scotland, whereas the south and southeast is likely to remain dry. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly milder than average. Heading into February, the north-south split of weather is likely to continue in the beginning, while there is an increasing likelihood of more widespread unsettled conditions later.
Updated:
Moving into mid-February, there is an increased likelihood of more unsettled conditions becoming established, with the northwest likely to be the wettest area, but showers or longer spells of rain may spread to most areas at times, but with the southeast likely to be the driest. Spells of strong winds are likely to develop more widely at times. Temperatures likely to be near or slightly above average although short lived colder interludes are possible. Any snow likely to be restricted to high ground in the north.
