Today's (22 Jan) Met Office long range forecast is just a description of the UK climate. Anyone could do this. UK Outlook for Sunday 6 Feb 2011 to Sunday 20 Feb 2011: This period looks to start mainly dry across southern parts of the UK, with cloudier, wetter and milder conditions in the north and west. Overnight frost and fog patches could continue for many southern parts of England and Wales. Meanwhile, spells of rain or drizzle, perhaps heavy at times with strong winds, are more likely further north across Scotland and Northern Ireland, with hill snow also possible here at times. Updated: 1145 on Sat 22 Jan 2011 Here's my forecast for April 20th 2011. Temperatures about normal for the time of year, but with periods of warm spring sunshine at times in the midlands, east and south-east England. Generally dry, but some light showers are possible, especially in the north and west. Mostly light winds. Pieman
