UK Outlook for Sunday 30 Jan 2011 to Sunday 13 Feb 2011: This period looks to start mainly dry and settled across the UK, with cloudier, milder conditions in the north and colder, drier conditions in the south. Overnight frosts and fog patches could continue for many parts of England and Wales, with a continuing risk of wintry precipitation especially in the southeast. Meanwhile, spells of rain or drizzle are more likely further north across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but hill-snow is also possible here.

UK Outlook for Thursday 20 Jan 2011 to Saturday 29 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. It will stay on the cold side though, with overnight frost and fog patches developing under clear skies. During the period, it will turn a little more unsettled for Scotland and Northern Ireland with slightly milder weather bringing cloudier conditions and occasional outbreaks of rain or drizzle here. Also, after the first weekend there is an increasing chance of colder conditions encroaching into southeastern parts, with a risk of some wintry precipitation here. In between, staying largely dry with a mix of sunny spells and cloudy skies, with overnight frost and fog continuing.

UK Outlook for Saturday 29 Jan 2011 to Saturday 12 Feb 2011: Unsettled and sometimes windy weather is expected through this period, with occasional showers or longer spells of rain, more especially in the north and west. Snow is likely at times, especially over high ground in the north. Some drier and brighter interludes are also expected, with sheltered eastern areas likely to see the greatest amount of sunshine, but with the risk of overnight frosts and some fog. Temperatures are expected to be generally near average. Updated: 1155 on Fri 14 Jan 2011 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Wednesday 19 Jan 2011 to Friday 28 Jan 2011: The start of this period looks to be relatively settled for much of the UK, with a good deal of dry though rather cloudy weather, but with a risk of overnight frost and fog. More unsettled in the northwest with outbreaks of rain and a risk of gales. Into the weekend and the following week, rather more unsettled conditions are likely more widely across the UK, although amounts of rain in the south should be small. Also, a risk of precipitation turning wintry across more northern and northeastern parts, particularly over high ground, where it is likely to be accompanied by strong winds. Temperatures starting off rather cold, although will recover to near normal, especially in the northwest, before tending to cool off somewhat into the start of next week.

UK Outlook for Friday 28 Jan 2011 to Friday 11 Feb 2011: Unsettled and sometimes windy weather is expected through this period, with showers or longer spells of rain. This is likely to turn to snow at times, especially in the north and over high ground in the south. Some drier and brighter interludes are also expected, but with the risk of sharp frosts and overnight fog. Temperatures are expected to be generally near or below average, perhaps well below average at times across northeastern parts of England and Scotland, though a few milder days are possible at first, especially in the south.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 18 Jan 2011 to Thursday 27 Jan 2011: It will be a rather unsettled week ahead with windy conditions, especially at first. Rain or showers and occasional gales are likely to affect the north and west of the UK at times, with drier and clearer spells rather more prevalent in the south and east. Temperatures start the week near-normal, although all areas exhibit a slight downward trend towards the weekend. Hill snow becomes rather more likely from Wales northwards. During the second week, indications are for the unsettled theme to continue across northern Britain, milder with wind and rain here, gales again occuring across Scotland and with near average temperatures. The south will be quieter with lighter winds and overnight frosts quite likely. Updated: 1229 on Thu 13 Jan 2011 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Monday 17 Jan 2011 to Wednesday 26 Jan 2011: A rather unsettled working week, with windy conditions at first. Rain or showers are likely to affect the north and west of the UK at times, with drier and clearer spells perhaps more frequent in the south and east. Temperatures start the week near-normal in the north, with the south above average, although both regions should exhibit a downward trend towards the weekend. Frost and hill snow is possible from Wales northwards at first, before the falling temperatures perhaps lead to snow in the north falling to lower levels. In addition to this, the frost risk spreads southwards with icy stretches becoming a possibility behind spells of rain. From the weekend, indications are for a rather cold and unsettled theme to end the period, but with some drier spells likely.

UK Outlook for Sunday 16 Jan 2011 to Tuesday 25 Jan 2011: Sunday is expected to be wet and mild in southern areas with heavy rain over western hills. Colder, and brighter in the north with a few showers, these wintry over Scottish hills. Rain will clear southwards later to leave a cold frosty night. Then brighter with showers on Monday, but cold with possible wintry showers in the north. Through Tuesday to Friday there is the likelihood of westerly or northwesterly winds with risk of wintry showers over northern hills, but drier in the south. Windy at times with possible gales in the northwest, and on the cold side with overnight frosts. In the latter period from Saturday to Tuesday it looks as though a broad westerly, or cool northwesterly showery flow will continue, perhaps drier in southern areas at times.

UK Outlook for Saturday 15 Jan 2011 to Monday 24 Jan 2011: Remaining unsettled with outbreaks of sometimes heavy rain or showers throughout the period, particularly in western parts, while some drier interludes are likely in the south and east. The rain may sometimes turn to snow but this will be limited to Scottish mountains at first. It will also be breezy at times, with a risk of gales in western parts. At first, temperatures will be above average in most areas, although staying closer to average in the far north. However, midway through the period it is likely to become colder once again in northern parts and, later, also in the south, with overnight frost becoming increasingly common. The snow risk will also slowly extend southwards, although still mainly confined to hills except across Scotland.

Summary A mild incursion then maybe cold again "Wet and windy" is a phrase not used much this winter but I think will be employed for the next week or so. Confidence is very high for the change to this mild, wet and windy weather but by the first week of February, when colder weather is again suggested, the confidence has dropped to "low". Monday 10 January 2011 to Sunday 16 January 2011 This feels normal for a British winter There will be ice and fresh Highland snow to start the week and the ground in Northern Ireland and Scotland remains very cold and at least in Scotland, partly snow covered. Scotland and Northern Ireland stay cold until Wednesday, then join the rest of the UK. England and Wales turn wet, windy and mild during Monday, briefly reverts to cold and sunny on Tuesday then is determinedly wet, windy and mild, i.e 12C from Wednesday. Expect flood warnings and gale warnings. Monday 17 January 2011 to Sunday 23 January 2011 So it should get colder again Which, with medium to high confidence, it does. The wind should swing from southwest to northwest and then stay west or north of west. No more double digit temperatures this week. The rainfall indications are interesting when combined with sunshine predictions: It all suggests to me streams of showers across the Irish Sea onto and beyond the Irish Sea coasts in for example, north Wales, the Midlands and northern England. Sunshine looks better than average in south Wales, southwest England and surprisingly northwest Scotland. Monday 24 January 2011 to Sunday 6 February 2011 More of the same - probably The northwest quarter wind prevails but surprisingly rainfall is above average for England and Wales and well above in eastern Scotland. Temperatures are well below average in Scotland and Northern Ireland whilst sunshine is well above average for northern Scotland but below in the Midlands and northeast England. As I like to try and fit pressure patterns to these indications, I suggest a slow-moving depression in the North Sea. Next week A possibility of another mild incursion but the signal for this isn't strong. http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209
