UK Outlook for Saturday 6 Sep 2014 to Saturday 20 Sep 2014: Current signals continue to suggest a broadly changeable spell of weather. As such, most regions can expect to see spells of fine weather, with some warm sunshine at times. However, these spells will then be interspersed with more unsettled conditions bringing showery outbreaks and perhaps more prolonged spells of rain. Northern and western parts are then likely to see the most frequent bouts of unsettled weather, whilst southern and eastern parts are likely to see the most frequent and prolonged fine and dry spells. Daytime temperatures, meanwhile, are likely to be warm during the fine spells and near or below average during unsettled weather.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 27 Aug 2014 to Friday 5 Sep 2014: Rather unsettled in the south for the latter part of next week, whilst northern areas will generally see drier and brighter weather. A quieter start to next weekend, though the general trend is for more changeable conditions later with heaviest and most persistent rain in the west, winds could be locally strong in the north and west, with a risk of gales. It then stays rather unsettled through the period with scattered showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed with brighter spells. Wettest weather is likely to be in the northwest, whilst the best of the drier and brighter interludes will be towards the southeast and possibly becoming lengthier with time. Temperatures will be near normal, but warm at times during drier spells and towards the southeast. Updated: 1201 on Fri 22 Aug 2014 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

Monthly Outlook Summary Where has summer gone? It's gone south, pushed away from our shores by a strong and cool northerly wind. That wind has dropped the temperatures and brought quite a lot of showers with it, some heavy and thundery. Looks like there's more of the same over the next week but it won't be raining all day everywhere and as the winds ease and given there will be some sunshine, it should still feel pleasant enough especially so in the south. Monday 18 August—Sunday 24 August Generally unsettled and cooler than average Temperatures and the general feel of the weather will be a talking point early in the week because it will be windy and cool with plenty of showers but also some drier, brighter spells. The brisk winds will gradually ease as the low pressure centre that's driving our weather eases away towards Scandinavia. The distribution of the showers will change daily, eastern England will be a focal point on Monday and Wednesday, probably that bit drier on Tuesday. By Thursday, some uncertainty creeps into the forecast as an area of more general rain spreads down from the north with showers following. The southeast will probably stay dry whilst on Friday it looks like showers could develop widely across the UK. Rainfall amounts are likely to be around average for most but in the north and east of the UK it will probably be quite wet. Temperatures will be below or even well below normal especially in the north, accentuated by the winds early in the period. Nights will be relatively chilly with some rural spots dipping well into single figures. As the bulk of the rain this week will be from showers there should be some sunshine around too, some western parts doing quite well with at least average amounts of sunshine. The Bank Holiday weekend may well start on a mostly dry note but cloud and rain is gathering out west. Monday 25 August—Sunday 31 August A change in the winds... Not a change to a warm southerly and a return to summer but more of a westerly weather pattern is likely to develop. That will bring low pressure systems and their associated fronts from the Atlantic. So, for the last week of the summer holidays the unsettled theme continues but at least we should see temperatures recovering to something closer to the norm for the time of year. With Atlantic lows crossing the UK there's likely to be a lot of cloud and rain this week. Consequently, we aren't going to see a great deal of sunshine, and the rain could be quite heavy with above or well above average amounts expected. The south east probably seeing a bit less rain than elsewhere but confidence on this aspect is relatively low. Monday 1 September—Sunday 14 September Pressure risng in the south? Back to school and we keep the west or northwesterly winds so most of the rain this week will be in the north and west of the UK. Nowhere is likely to see above normal rainfall amounts but it should be drier in the south and east. Pressure may well rise in the south, helping to keep things mostly dry with some sunshine at times. However, with the northwesterly winds we'll be dragging in some cooler air so temperatures will be a bit on the low side both by day and night. The details at this range are difficult but we are fairly confident that the west or northwest winds will be with us. Next week September is a transitional month - which way will the last two weeks go?Could we see a return to something more summery? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

Monthly Outlook Summary Blustery showers follow ex-hurricane Bertha. The relatively warm and largely dry weather many places experienced over the past few weeks came to an abrupt end last week, and has been followed by heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend, as the remnants of ex-hurricane Bertha spread across much of the UK. Monday 11 August—Sunday 17 August Wind and rain easing but further blustery showers. A deep area of low pressure that moved northeastwards across the UK during the weekend will be slow moving to the northeast of Scotland on Monday. Heavy rain will affect many parts of northern and eastern Scotland through the day, in combination with very strong, gusty winds across Scotland and northeast England. Elsewhere, Monday will be a quieter but windy day, with sunny spells and blustery, squally showers. The middle part of the week will be dominated by a northwesterly airflow, bringing a fresher feel to the weather than of late, with a mix of sunny or bright spells and blustery showers. Temperatures near or a little below average. By the end of the week, pressure is forecast to rise, bringing a quieter spell of weather. Winds will ease and most of the showers will fade. Some rain still possible, especially in the far northwest. Temperatures will recover to the low 20s in the southeast. Sunday 17 August—Sunday 24 August Unsettled in the NW, brightest towards the SE.
