Summer Sun

Monday 29 Jan to Monday 12 Feb After a likely milder, more unsettled spell during the preceding week, towards the end of January and into early February there is again an increased likelihood of high pressure having greater influence on UK weather patterns. There is uncertainty in exactly where high pressure will become established but this increases the likelihood of drier conditions. There is also a greater than normal likelihood of winds from the north or east leading to an increased chance, compared to normal, of cold spells. Whilst a drier and colder scenario is most likely during early February, there remains a lower chance of milder interludes with spells of rain and strong winds. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

Friday 19 Jan to Sunday 28 Jan Still cold on Friday with northwesterly winds bringing further snow showers inland at times, although these should ease later in the day and turn to rain in western areas. Many inland areas will be mainly dry with a good deal of clear/ sunny weather. Over the weekend, a transition to less cold conditions is likely as Atlantic systems start to arrive from the west, eventually bringing spells of rain and strong winds across all areas. Whilst conditions should gradually turn milder, this transition brings the chance some snow. Once established, milder and wetter than normal conditions seem likely to persist through to late-January, although the south could have some drier spells of weather at times, especially later in the month, when the chance of overnight frost and fog increases once again. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

Sunday 28 Jan - Sunday 11 Feb After a likely milder, more unsettled spell during the preceding week, towards the end of January and into early February there is again an increased likelihood of high pressure having greater influence on UK weather patterns. There is uncertainty in exactly where high pressure will become established but this increases the likelihood of drier conditions.

Thursday 18 Jan - Saturday 27 Jan Still widely very cold on Thursday and Friday with the potential for severe overnight frost. Northerly winds will bring snow showers inland at times, these remaining most frequent across northern Scotland but should tend to ease later in the week. Many inland areas will be mainly dry with a good deal of clear/sunny weather. Towards the end of the week and over the course of next weekend, a transition back to less cold conditions is likely as Atlantic systems start to arrive from the west. This will see a return to unsettled conditions with spells of rain and strong winds across all areas at times. Whilst conditions should gradually turn milder, this transition brings the chance of spells of snow. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

BBC Monthly Outlook Summary Colder than average for a week, then milder Saturday 13 January to – Sunday 21 January Colder than normal. Snow in places. Milder later Monday 22 January to – Sunday 28 January Milder and unsettled. More rain than snow Monday 29 January to – Sunday 11 February Possibly turning colder again in February Further ahead Models and atmospheric forcings give us some confidence on the upcoming pattern of cold then milder weather through the rest of January. When the next update rolls around, we will see if that remains the case, and whether there will be any more evidence of February becoming colder again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/outlook

Wednesday 17 Jan to Friday 26 Jan Staying very cold through next week. Northerly winds will bring snow showers inland at times, these most frequent across northern Scotland. Many inland areas will be mainly dry with a good deal of clear/bright weather. During Wednesday there is a chance of an area of snow moving across parts of southern England and Wales for a time though confidence is currently low in the behaviour of this system. Towards the end of the week or more likely over next weekend, the start of a transition back to less cold conditions is likely as Atlantic systems start to arrive from the west brining spells of rain and strong winds. Whilst conditions should gradually turn milder, this transition brings the chance of spells of snow. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk
