UK Outlook for Wednesday 5 Jan 2011 to Friday 14 Jan 2011: Largely unsettled and rather cloudy from the middle of next week through into the following weekend, with spells of rain and hill snow in the south and west at first soon spreading northeast, perhaps bringing some sleet and snow, as well as an ice risk, to northern, eastern and central parts at times. Then, by the new week, the south and east should become drier whilst the north and west remain unsettled with showers, some of them wintry, and hill snow. Temperatures remaining cold or rather cold to the north and east, to the south and west nearer normal at first but turning colder later. The colder-than-average theme then persists into the week after next. Updated: 1200 on Fri 31 Dec 2010 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Thursday 13 Jan 2011 to Thursday 27 Jan 2011: The weather looks set to remain rather cold for much of this period, with wintry showers and overnight frosts quite likely. However, brief milder interludes are possible. The best of the dry and bright conditions are also most likely to be found in southwestern parts.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 4 Jan 2011 to Thursday 13 Jan 2011: A band of rain, sleet and hill snow will sweep southwards early in the period, to be followed by colder and brighter weather with some wintry showers, mainly in northern and eastern coastal areas. For the rest of the first week, low pressure will be close to northeastern parts of the and UK bringing a risk of sleet and snow at times here, most likely across hills in the north initially, but falling to lower levels later in the week with the driest weather likely in southern parts. Night-time frosts are likely in all areas. Thereafter, things look like remaining unsettled with a risk of wintry weather particularly in northern and eastern parts of the UK. Temperatures should remain rather cold with an ongoing risk of frost and ice. Updated: 1119 on Thu 30 Dec 2010 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Tuesday 4 Jan 2011 to Tuesday 18 Jan 2011: A return to nearer normal temperatures across much of the UK appears likely as we move into the New Year. Probably remaining unsettled, but with an increasing chance of some longer drier interludes with more sunshine.

UK Outlook for Saturday 25 Dec 2010 to Monday 3 Jan 2011: Continuing cold with further snow, widespread ice, severe overnight frosts and some freezing fog in most parts of the UK for the first few days. Locally significant accumulations of snow can be expected at times. Over parts of southwestern UK it is likely to become less cold and the snow will probably turn to rain at times beyond the Christmas weekend. This unsettled weather with rain, sleet or snow at times is then expected to spread slowly and erratically north and eastwards later next week and into the following week. Probably becoming less cold across much of the UK later in the period, with temperatures returning to nearer normal and precipitation mainly falling as rain.

Great Forecast nick

Summary An Arctic end to the year Despite differences in forecast model output, sometimes contradictory, the majority opinion keeps us in Arctic air with further snow and severe frost until next the start of 2011. The New Year should bring Atlantic weather to our shores helping to raise temperatures, causing a thaw and allowing sunsine that actually feels warmer! Monday 20 December 2010 to Sunday 26 December 2010 A pretty landscape? Even though English Channel coasts have a brush with "warmer" weather, the ground is cold everywhere and coastal rain here will freeze overnight. Night time temperatures may well breach record lows, currently standing at -25 to -27 depending on the area described. Daytime maxima will, for many places with snow on the ground, fail to reach zero Celsius. At the end of the week, as a discrete low pressure centre forms over central Europe, we pick up an increasing easterly wind which brings snow for most of eastern and central Britain, in blizzard form and to disruptive depth again. Northern Ireland and western Britain should enjoy cold sunshine. Monday 27 December 2010 to Sunday 2 January 2011 Finally an end to it? Further snow, widespread ice, severe overnight frosts and some freezing fog are likely in most parts of the UK at first. More of the same then. Eventually this blocked weather pattern will shift and it is at the end of this week that it is forecast to happen. The transition itself will cause thaw by both rising temperature and falling rain. This sustained release of frozen and falling water may cause its own problems. Monday 3 January 2011 to Sunday 16 January 2011 Settled in to unsettled This looks more like our usual winter - mild, windy and sometimes wet. There is a nice signal for longer dry periods and sunny intervals. Next week Once the block of cold weather has been shifted and not returned within the week, it's likely to stay gone for a while. Wintry wet and windy weather could well be the order of the day. http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

ok here go UK Outlook for Friday 24 Dec 2010 to Sunday 2 Jan 2011: Further snow, widespread ice, severe overnight frosts and some freezing fog are likely in most parts of the UK for the first few days. Locally significant accumulations of snow can be expected at times. Over parts of southern England it is likely to become less cold and the snow will probably turn to rain at times beyond the Christmas weekend. Some central and northern parts of the UK may remain generally dry. The unsettled weather with rain, sleet or snow at times is expected to continue across the north and perhaps the east of the country later next week and probably into the following week.

60% Chance of a white Christmas White Christmas Forecast Issued: 2010-12-18 20:52:00 Next Forecast: 2010-12-19 22:00:00 Synopsis No change to yesterdays forecast at the moment with the considerable uncertainty continuing. There seems a reasonable chance that Christmas Day may be mostly dry but cold however a potential battleground scenario cant be ruled out especially in the West as the models play about with cold extension and mild incursions. It would seem that we need to wait a few more days before any proper idea of the outcome of Christmas Day. Please note the forecast is based on snow actually falling on the day. In summary, a possibly dry day for most but rather chilly with the risk of a battleground scenario, especially in the West. http://www.ukasf.co.uk/module-christmas/

60% Chance of a white Christmas White Christmas Forecast Issued: 2010-12-17 21:26:00 Next Forecast: 2010-12-18 22:00:00 Synopsis Considerable uncertainty at the moment for Christmas Day however some signs that as previously mentioned, the cold could be extended beyond Christmas Day from the cold blast we currently have. Some model runs still want to push milder weather in but confidence on a cold day is slowly increasing. Currently, models suggest pressure rising across Scandinavia, possibly bringing Easterly winds which could bring some showers, possibly wintry. A battle ground could set up between the Atlantic and the Cold air too. Many solutions are being pumped out right now that it is anyones call. In summary while we expect a cold Christmas day, currently we expect it to be mostly dry inalnd with snny spells and local mist/fog patches with the risk of wintry showers near coasts, perhaps blowing inland at times.:smiliz19: http://www.ukasf.co....dule-christmas/

UK Outlook for Saturday 1 Jan 2011 to Saturday 15 Jan 2011: More westerly or northwesterly winds are likely to predominate through the period. Maximum temperatures are expected to be below average, and possibly well below average in eastern Scotland. Night-time minimum temperatures will also be generally below average, particularly in southern and eastern England, although likely around average in Northern Ireland. It is likely to be a drier than average period in all parts, while sunshine amounts should be average in all parts, or even above in Scotland.

Sorry I late been busy UK Outlook for Tuesday 21 Dec 2010 to Thursday 30 Dec 2010: Further snow, widespread ice and severe overnight frosts are likely in most parts of the UK during the first week. Locally significant accumulations of snow can be expected, especially near coasts. Windward coasts of southern England and Wales may see showers of rain or sleet at times, presenting an overnight ice risk as temperatures fall below freezing. Some sheltered central parts of the UK may stay dry. The unsettled and wintry weather is expected to continue across the north of the country later next and into the following week, remaining cold with further snowfall likely in places, especially eastern areas. Perhaps becoming less cold in the south with temperatures returning to near or slightly below normal and a chance of some rain or sleet.
