UK Outlook for Saturday 29 Jan 2011 to Monday 7 Feb 2011: This weekend it is likely to remain rather cold and cloudy for much of the United Kingdom. Though mainly dry, patchy light rain could occur in the northwest whilst scattered light snow flurries may affect more southern parts. Some breaks in the cloud are also likely, particularly towards the south and east and especially as we move into next week, with some sunny spells likely. During this time it is also like to be rather cold in southern parts, which will lead to an increasing incidence of overnight frost and fog. However, also through next week, northwestern parts seem likely to become increasingly unsettled and milder with outbreaks of rain and hill snow at times accompanied by strong, possibly gale force winds.

Summary The cold hangs on for a little longer What a relief this last week has been. It’s been a long time since we have managed a week without any weather warnings being issued for snow, rain or wind across the UK. The quieter theme looks like it will continue for a little while longer but the milder air from the Atlantic is always trying to re-establish itself, and as we head into February it may begin to win the battle. Monday 24 January 2011 to Sunday 30 January 2011 Cold and cloudy A mainly settled week as high pressure remains near the UK. Saying that though it will remain rather cloudy with a few bands of rain spreading south at the beginning of the week. Overnight frosts will remain a risk during the week and more so by the end of the week when the winds start coming off the cool continent, giving perhaps the odd snowflake for some of us in the east. Monday 31 January 2011 to Sunday 6 February 2011 Change of the month, change in the weather? The high pressure looks set to finally move east towards the continent during the week allowing the milder southwesterlies to begin to make an appearance again. This though will also bring back the wind and rain especially in the south west, where despite the milder air it may still feel rather cool. The transition can be a slow process though as we found out last month so it may take a few days before the milder air reaches all parts of the UK. Monday 7 February 2011 to Sunday 20 February 2011 The westerlies stay in charge The Atlantic seems set to stay in charge of our weather as we enter mid February keeping the weather fairly unsettled. Rainfall amounts and temperatures look set to be close too or just above average for the time of year, which will help keep the nightime frost at bay. However with the cold dense air never to far away in the continent we can't put away our winter coats just yet. Next week Will the southwesterlies dominate or will the colder air stay put? http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

UK Outlook for Monday 7 Feb 2011 to Monday 21 Feb 2011: This period looks to start mainly dry but cold 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.

UK Outlook for Friday 28 Jan 2011 to Sunday 6 Feb 2011: It is likely to remain generally cold, cloudy but dry at first for much of the UK, but the odd spot of light rain or drizzle cannot be ruled out, particularly in the northwest. Some breaks in the cloud are still likely, mainly in sheltered areas, allowing sunny spells by day and a patchy frost overnight. Into the new week northwestern parts will become increasingly unsettled with outbreaks of rain and hill snow at times, accompanied by strong, possibly gale-force winds. It will however, be fairly mild in these areas. Towards the southeast it is likely to remain predominantly dry, cold and cloudy with light winds. Once again the odd break in the cloud is still possible, giving some sunshine by day and the risk of frost and fog overnight.

Much of this period looks to be relatively settled, with a good deal of dry weather and variable, but often large, amounts of cloud. Some rain is possible in the north, northwest and far northeast this weekend and early next week. More unsettled conditions will then extend slowly southeast across many parts from late next week, bringing cloudier conditions and occasional outbreaks of rain. Towards the south and southeast, the drier, although rather cloudy, weather is expected to continue with overnight frost and fog patches developing in any clear spells. Temperatures are expected to be near normal generally, although on the cold side in the south at times. Throughout the period, there is a small risk of colder interludes affecting central and eastern areas at times, giving wintry showers..

Summary Cold comes back Did you enjoy the milder interlude? For many, the Atlantic winds brought a welcome change from the bitter weather of December. Yet it's arguable whether wind and rain is preferable to sunshine and frost. Indeed some of us have had far too much rain in the last week or so. Like it or not, the warmer, wetter westerlies have already run out of steam. We must again look to the north and east for our weather. Frozen Britain - part 2? Monday 17 January 2011 to Sunday 23 January 2011 Crisp and dry With high pressure sitting over the UK, clear skies and light winds prevail for many through this week. Around the edges of the high, rain will affect the south at first and the far north later. However, in between, it will stay largely dry and bright by day. Frost will be widespread at night, with a few lingering fog patches expected. Monday 24 January 2011 to Sunday 30 January 2011 Cold block holds sway The Atlantic winds look like being held at bay by the cold, dense block of air sitting over us. Just the far north of the UK may at times feel these milder, damper conditions. Otherwise, high pressure will ensure plenty of dry weather, with some more crisp winter sunshine by day for most of us. However we will always need to keep one eye on the frozen Continent. Any hint of an easterly wind coming over the North Sea brings the chance of generating some snow showers to eastern areas. Monday 31 January 2011 to Sunday 13 February 2011 Change of month but the weather may stay 'stuck' 'Blocked' weather patterns often take a very long time to break down. Indeed, computer models are sometimes too quick to signal a return of westerlies, particularly at this time of year. So despite the longer days and stronger sunshine of February, it may be that the cold block of high pressure persists, and temperatures remain below the nomal with widespread frost. Details of snowfall will remain ellusive until nearer the time. However relatively high pressure should ensure a lot of dry weather. Next week Looking to the east, or will the warmer westerlies win? http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

Good luck southwest

UK Outlook for Friday 21 Jan 2011 to Sunday 30 Jan 2011: Much of this period looks to be mainly settled across many parts of the UK, with a good deal of dry weather and some bright, wintry sunshine, although the first couple of days may be fairly cloudy. It will stay on the cold side generally, with overnight frost and fog patches developing under clear skies. Wintry showers are possible in the north, northeast and east next weekend and early next week, before more unsettled conditions spread into parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland with slightly milder weather bringing cloudier conditions and occasional outbreaks of rain or drizzle here. Conversely, in southern, eastern and central regions, the below-average temperatures are likely to continue for much of the period, perhaps with a recovery to near normal towards the end of the month.
