UK Outlook for Tuesday 25 Mar 2014 to Tuesday 8 Apr 2014: The current trend is for fairly typical conditions for the end of March and into April, with a changeable mixture of weather and a cold feel at times. As such, some spells of wet and windy weather should be expected, these most frequent in the north, with the risk of hill snow. However, there will also be drier and brighter interludes, with the best of these to the south and east. Temperatures are likely to be near normal or below, especially in the north, and any clearer nights will be rather cold with the risk of frost.

UK Outlook for Saturday 15 Mar 2014 to Monday 24 Mar 2014: It should stay settled in the south of the UK during the weekend but further north it is likely to be cloudier and breezier with outbreaks of rain, particularly the northwest. Temperatures will generally be on the warm side, especially in the east, but frosts are possible in places overnight. During the following week high pressure shows signs of declining to the southwest with more unsettled conditions in northern parts of the UK. Outbreaks of rain and hill snow are more likely and could spread southwards with time. It will become windier for many too, and there are signs of a downward trend in temperatures with overnight frost likely. By the end of the week unsettled conditions may affect much of the UK, with brisk winds and temperature below normal.

Monday 10 March Published at 10:00 Monthly Outlook Summary A Spring in our step - at least at first... A fine week in prospect across the British Isles. However, there are signs that it will become more unsettled later this month, especially the further north you are. Monday 10 March—Sunday 16 March A week of dry weather. No significant rainfall is forecast this week! A large area of high pressure is to thank for the stabilisation of our weather. Confidence in the pressure pattern and dry weather for this week is high. Sadly this does not give us a weather scenario without forecasting headaches, confidence in day-to-day cloud cover locally is low. The cloud will come largely from the remnants of weather fronts and at times could be thick enough to produce drizzly rain. Rain totals will be minimal. Trying to pick out areas most likely to be affected with thicker cloud is difficult - but at the moment model forecasts are favouring southern England and Wales on Tuesday and northern England on Wednesday and Friday. Thick cloud cover also has a big effect on temperatures at this time of year - by night limiting frosts, but by day holding back the warmth. Sunday (09/03) was the warmest day of the year so far with temperatures widely in the high teens across central and eastern England. This level of warmth is not set to be repeated in the week ahead. Highs in the best of the sunshine will be around 13 or 14C. Gardeners keen with the bedding plants beware - clear skies at night will come with a risk of frost (and fog). Monday 17 March—Sunday 23 March That sinking feeling... By next weekend there are signs that our area of high pressure will begin to sink away southwards. For northern Britain it is likely to turn unsettled, with periods of wet and windy weather interspersed by brighter but chilly spells with wintry showers. To the south the high looks more likely to linger and should keep the weather largely dry, but it could be rather cloudy at times. Monday 24 March—Monday 7 April April fool? The end of March and beginning of April are currenly looking to offer fairly typical weather for the time of year - a pretty changable mixture! Sunshine and showers is a good bet for the average day. Showers will tend to be most frequent in the north, with the risk of hill snow. Drier, brighter spells are most likely for sheltered southern and eastern areas. Temperatures are likely to be near normal or below, especially in the north, and any clearer nights will be rather cold with the risk of frost. Next week Will April live up to its promise as the month of showers? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Monday 24 Mar 2014 to Monday 7 Apr 2014: The current trend is for fairly typical conditions for the end of March and April, with a changeable mixture of showery outbreaks of rain and drier, sunnier intervals. Although it will also be feeling cold at times. As such, some spells of wet and windy weather should be expected, these most frequent in the north, with the risk of hill snow. However there will also be drier and brighter interludes, with the best of these to the south and east. Temperatures are likely to be near normal or below, especially in the north, and any clearer nights will be rather cold with the risk of frost.

UK Outlook for Friday 14 Mar 2014 to Sunday 23 Mar 2014: Remaining settled and mostly dry on Friday with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells, with the best of these in the south. However thicker cloud will affect some northwestern parts, gradually moving south during the day, and bringing some light outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Temperatures will be near normal or just above, although colder overnight, perhaps with frost or fog under any clearer skies. Into the weekend it will turn unsettled across the north, with wet and windy periods and hill snow, but staying dry, but cloudier in the south. These unsettled conditions will continue next week in the north, interspersed by colder interludes with wintry showers. Whilst generally staying drier and brighter in the south, some colder and more unsettled weather is also possible at times.

UK Outlook for Thursday 13 Mar 2014 to Saturday 22 Mar 2014: High pressure will bring plenty of dry and fine weather across the UK through Thursday and Friday with lengthy periods of sunshine, once early fog patches clear. However, the far northwest may see some drizzle at times and it will be rather breezy, especially later on Friday when persistent rain will develop. Daytime temperatures will be around, or just above, normal; but temperatures will drop where skies clear overnight leading to fairly widespread frosts and some fog patches. Through the weekend and into next week, it will become unsettled across northern parts with wet and windy periods and hill snow, interspersed by colder interludes with wintry showers. Even in the south, a gradual transition to more changeable conditions is likely with occasional rain and temperatures returning nearer average.

UK Outlook for Sunday 23 Mar 2014 to Sunday 6 Apr 2014: Current indications suggest fairly typical weather conditions for the time of year being most likely during late March and early April. As such some spells of wet and windy weather or showery conditions should be expected, most likely in the north and west. There will be drier and brighter interludes too, best of these to the south and east. Northwestern parts are most likely to see above average rainfall amounts during this time, and some hill snow is also possible in the north. Temperatures may be a little below average at first, especially to the northwest, and then nearer average later. Given the time of year this does mean any clear nights will tend to be chilly with a risk of frost. Updated: 1151 on Sat 8 Mar 2014 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

UK Outlook for Saturday 22 Mar 2014 to Saturday 5 Apr 2014:Current indications suggest fairly typical weather conditions for the time of year will continue during the latter half of March and into the start of April.

The best of the drier and brighter conditions are likely to be towards the south and east of the UK. Temperatures are most likely to be around average for the time of year, with a continuing risk of overnight frost in the quieter and clearer interludes.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 12 Mar 2014 to Friday 21 Mar 2014:High pressure will dominate the weather pattern across the UK at first, bringing plenty of dry and fine weather with variable amounts of cloud and periods of sunshine. However, northwest Scotland and perhaps western parts of Northern Ireland will see occasional cloudy, damp and windier weather at times. Daytime temperatures are likely to be around, or just above, normal; but temperatures will drop under the influence of clear skies and light winds overnight leading to the risk of local frost and fog. Towards next weekend and into the following week, it is likely to turn more changeable, especially in the north. Here, some locally heavy rain, hill snow and gales seem increasingly likely, and even in the south some cloudier, windier weather with occasional rain, with temperatures returning to normal.
