UK Outlook for Sunday 1 Aug 2010 to Tuesday 10 Aug 2010: The weather remains changeable during the first week of August with a mix of sunshine and showers across much of the UK. The showers are likely to be most frequent in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northwestern England but may spread further south at times. However, the best of the drier and brighter weather will be in southern, and particularly southwestern parts. The northwest is likely to stay rather unsettled heading into the second week of the month with further showers or patchy rain, while the southeast of the UK is generally drier and sunnier. Winds mostly light or moderate, but sometimes brisk in the north. Temperatures will be generally close to average but are likely to be warm or perhaps very warm for a time in southern areas.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 10 Aug 2010 to Tuesday 24 Aug 2010: There are indications that many places should continue the trend towards generally drier and sunnier conditions during the period. Rainfall should be near to slightly below average, with northern parts of the UK retaining the greatest chance of rain or showers and generally more changeable conditions. Temperatures should remain around or above normal for most, but possibly very warm in southern England.

UK Outlook for Saturday 31 Jul 2010 to Monday 9 Aug 2010: Through the coming weekend and the first part of next week, much of the UK will be rather changeable with sunshine and showers, perhaps some more persistent rain at times. Showers are likely to be most frequent in northern and perhaps eastern areas and may be heavy from time to time. The best of the drier and brighter weather should be in southern, and particularly southwestern, parts. Towards the end of the period, still unsettled at times in the northwest but generally drier towards the southeast of the UK. Winds mostly light or moderate, but sometimes strong in the north. Temperatures will be close to average for the most part, but are likely to be slightly above, perhaps even very warm for a time, in southern areas.

Summary Averages look more likely than extremes Active weather needs contrasts. A weather front forms along the boundary between different air masses. The bigger the difference in temperature and humidity between those air masses, the livelier the weather is likely to be. By this time of year it becomes difficult to find those big contrasts in the region of the UK, as the surrounding seas warm towards their summer peak. This means that summer fronts tend to be weak affairs, with relatively small amounts of rain and summer depressions are generally pale imitations of their winter cousins. No surprise then to find the outlook suggesting we're unlikely to see heatwaves or gales, with gentler summer weather coming our way. Monday 26 July 2010 to Sunday 1 August 2010 Small changes with little impact The high moisture content means a rather humid and fairly cloudy start to the week, but as one of those summer fronts pushes southwards it should bring a fresher feel midweek. Southern parts of the UK should be mainly dry and warm on Friday, while an area of low pressure brings more unsettled weather to northern areas with rain or showers. This unsettled weather is is likely to sink further southwards over the weekend, although it looks unlikely to reach the holiday beaches of southwest England. Monday 2 August 2010 to Sunday 8 August 2010 Becoming settled, and warmer in the south The first full week of August should find some southern, and particularly southwestern, areas remaining mostly dry with some sunshine but much of the UK is likely to see some cloudier and more changeable weather at first, with rain or showers from time to time. The rest of the week should see more settled conditions returning to most parts, though still with occasional rain in the north. Winds mostly light or moderate, but sometimes strong in the northwest as low perssure systems brush by. Temperatures will be close to average for the most part, but are likely to increase later in the period, perhaps becoming very warm in the south later. Monday 9 August 2010 to Sunday 22 August 2010 Fine weather for peak of holiday season There are signs that many places should continue the trend towards generally drier and sunnier conditions during the main part of the holiday season. Rainfall signal is for near or below average amounts, and not surprisingly its northern areas that are most likely to see any unsettled conditions. Temperatures should remain close to or above normal for most, but it looks like staying quite warm across southern England with the chance of a brief hotter spell at the start of the period as air is drawn in from the continent for a time. Next week The days are getting noticeably shorter, but will temperatures start to fall? http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

Little rain to the south Temperatures near normal http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?LANG=en&MENU=weekahead&DAY=20100726
