UK Outlook for Monday 21 Mar 2011 to Monday 4 Apr 2011: Becoming more settled. Much of England and Wales should see well below average rainfall amounts through the period, with Scotland and Northern Ireland likely to be nearer the seasonal norm. Whilst most of the country should see near average temperatures, eastern England will perhaps be a litter colder than normal overnight, with more overnight frosts than elsewhere. Cloudier conditions for Scotland should keep average night-time temperatures here a little above normal for early spring. Sunshine amounts for the period should be around average across the country. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Friday 11 Mar 2011 to Sunday 20 Mar 2011: Many areas will be unsettled and rather cloudy with spells of rain over the first weekend. The heaviest rain will be in the north and west at first but later central and southeastern areas, with clearer and brighter conditions coming into the northwest. However the northwest will also see a few showers, some wintry. Temperatures near normal for most but rather cold in the northwest later, and mild in some southeastern parts. The following week will remain unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain, sometimes wintry in the north. Later in the week and the second weekend some areas may become a little more settled. Temperatures often rather cold, but sometimes mild in the south. Frosts likely at night where skies clear.

UK Outlook for Sunday 20 Mar 2011 to Sunday 3 Apr 2011: A relatively settled period, with high pressure slightly favoured over the near-continent, keeping the most likely focus of more unsettled weather towards the northwest of the UK. Much of England and Wales should see well below average rainfall amounts, with Scotland and Northern Ireland likely to be nearer the seasonal norm. Whilst most of the country should see near-average temperatures, eastern England will perhaps fall a little below normal overnight, with more in the way of drier and clearer weather and consequently slightly more common overnight frosts. By contrast, the expected cloudier conditions for Scotland should keep night-time temperatures here a little above normal for early spring. Sunshine amounts for the period show little departure from typical values, being around average across the country.

UK Outlook for Thursday 10 Mar 2011 to Saturday 19 Mar 2011: Northern and western parts of the UK should be unsettled and often windy, with showers or longer spells of rain seeing out the first week and weekend. Rain will occasionally be heavy, with showers over northwestern Britain likely wintry at times, with snow on higher ground and particularly Scottish mountains. Elsewhere, conditions often will be dry to begin with, but the risk of outbreaks of rain increases by the first weekend. Temperatures are expected to be largely near or a little below normal, though some southern and eastern parts may be briefly mild at times later in the first week. From mid-March, temperatures are likely to remain close to or below average, with a possible trend from unsettled conditions towards slightly more settled weather to end the second week.

Summary Generally changeable weather on the horizon High pressure looks set to dominate during the first part of March and is set to make a return by the end of the month, bringing plenty of dry and settled weather. Atlantic weather systems are likely to move across all parts of the UK during the month, with the wettest of the weather in the north. Monday 28 February 2011 to Sunday 6 March 2011 Mainly dry, but rather cloudy for many High pressure will build across the UK during this week, keeping conditions mostly dry. West or southwesterly winds will continue to feed into Scotland and Northern Ireland, bringing relatively mild conditions. However, northeasterly winds will begin to set in, especially across southern England. Conditions will feel cold here as the breeze drags continental air towards our shores. There may also be a few light showers, possibly wintry in nature over high ground, although accumulations are not expected. Where skies clear overnight, some frost and fog patches will form. Monday 7 March 2011 to Sunday 13 March 2011 High pressure does its best to hang on High pressure will do its best to remain in charge of the United Kingdom's weather this week. Many areas will be generally dry, with a mixture of sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud. Any clear spells overnight will continue to bring the risk of frost and fog. Towards the end of this week, more unsettled conditions are likely to affect the northwest of the UK, with spells of rain moving in. Many areas will be starting off rather cool for the second week of March, but it should become a little milder towards the northwest. Monday 14 March 2011 to Sunday 27 March 2011 Rather unsettled at first, but turning quieter... Periods of rain are likely to affect much of the UK at first, leading to quite a wet spell at the beginning of the week. Some rain is likely further south, however there will also be some brighter interludes. As we move towards the end of the month, high pressure looks set to build once more, allowing conditions to dry up. There should also be plenty of sunshine, with temperatures around the seasonal average. Next week Spring is in the air, but will it last? http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209
