METO UK Further Outlook

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Saturday 31 May 2008 to Monday 9 Jun 2008:

The coming weekend is set to bring a mixed bag of weather with some warm sunshine at times, but also some heavy showers bubbling up too, particularly in the south. The week after is set to see the arrival of the more traditional northwest-southeast split, often seen at this time of year. Many parts of England and Wales, particularly southern and eastern parts, are likely to experience some warm sunshine, and any rain is likely to come in the form of thundery showers; while further north and west, parts of NW Scotland in particular could see more in the way of cloud and persistent rain though some drier brighter weather is also likely here from time to time.

UK Outlook for Saturday 7 Jun 2008 to Monday 16 Jun 2008:

Northwestern parts of the UK are likely to be rather cloudy and breezy with a few outbreaks of rain over the weekend. However, much of England and Wales, particularly southern parts, are likely to see drier conditions with plenty of sunshine, light winds and just the odd shower. This sets the scene for the rest of the period with high pressure expected to dominate the weather across many parts of England and Wales, extending into Scotland and Northern Ireland at times. Northwestern areas are at greater risk of seeing bands of cloud and rain from time to time though, while the rest of the UK should stay mainly dry and fine with some pleasant spells of warm sunshine.

[johnholmes]

yes, happy with that, for a variety of reasons, surface high pressure is more probable than low pressure as the major weather feature in the latter part at least of the period shown on that forecast

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Sunday 8 Jun 2008 to Tuesday 17 Jun 2008:

High pressure is expected to dominate the weather across many parts of England and Wales throughout the forecast period, especially southern and eastern parts of England. In these areas it will be mainly dry with plenty of sunshine, light winds and only the odd isolated shower. These settled conditions will also extend into Scotland and Northern Ireland at times, although in general northern and western parts of the United Kingdom are at greater risk of seeing bands of cloud and rain from time to time. The temperature will in general be around or above the average for June, although it will be locally very warm in the sunnier spots in central, southern and eastern areas.

[johnholmes]

yes happy with that version for the latter part, high pressure is set to dominate in my view

[grab my graupel]

Yes indeed a very promising futher outlook there

[shuggee]

I wonder if tonight's ECM is a spanner in the works for this Outlook or a model blip best forgotten by all?

Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's effort at lunchtime.

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Monday 9 Jun 2008 to Wednesday 18 Jun 2008:

High pressure will dominate much of the UK on Monday and Tuesday with weather fronts spreading across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. This will give periods of rain or showers in the north, with the brighter, drier weather in the south. A similar theme continues for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the brighter, drier weather in southern, central and eastern areas with showers or periods of rain in the north and northwest. Temperatures near normal in the north, slightly above normal in the south. Looking further ahead from Saturday through to Wednesday, the trend appears similar giving largely dry and bright weather in the south with the higher risk of showers in the north and northeast in a largely west or northwesterly flow. Temperatures continuing to be near normal.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 10 Jun 2008 to Thursday 19 Jun 2008:

High pressure will dominate much of the UK on Tuesday and Wednesday with the bulk of the drier and brighter weather in the south. Weather fronts spreading across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will bring periods of rain or showers here. Similar conditions for Thursday, Friday and Saturday with showers or longer spells of rain in the north and west. Elsewhere variable, often large amounts of cloud and an increasing risk of occasional showers. Best of the sunshine in the south. Temperatures near normal in the north, slightly above normal in the south. The trend appears similar from Sunday to Thursday the following week, giving largely dry and bright weather in the south with showers in the north and northeast in a north-westerly flow.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 11 Jun 2008 to Friday 20 Jun 2008:

A fairly cool northwesterly flow of air is expected to give a mix of sunshine and showers across the United Kingdom through into the weekend. The showers will probably be most prevalent and heaviest in the north and east of the country, with southwestern Britain having the warmest and driest of the weather. Looking beyond the weekend the trend is fairly similar, with southern and western parts of the country expected to be predominantly settled and quite warm, while it remains cooler and at times rather showery in northern and eastern areas. Daytime temperatures are expected to range from near to just above normal in the south and west, to just below normal in the northeast.

UK Outlook for Thursday 12 Jun 2008 to Saturday 21 Jun 2008:

A cool north to northwesterly flow of air is expected to give a mix of sunshine and showers across the United Kingdom through into the weekend. The showers most prevalent and heaviest towards the north and east of the country, where more prolonged spells of rain are likely at times. Looking beyond the weekend; the trend is fairly similar throughout next week, with northern and eastern areas expected to remain rather cool and unsettled with further showery weather at times. Throughout the period, southwestern Britain will fair best, with generally drier, brighter and warmer weather than elsewhere. Temperatures will typically range from below normal in the north and east, to around the seasonal norm in the southwest.

sticking with their idea over the past 3 days at least, can't remember what they showed prior to the 5th Stuart, the first one on this page.

I would agree with their idea, cannot see much chance of any major change in that time scale from what they are suggesting.

and another so 4 in a row for the same

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Sunday 15 Jun 2008 to Tuesday 24 Jun 2008:

Next week is likely to see quite large amounts of cloud and scattered showers or longer spells of rain. The driest conditions and best of any sunny spells are most likely over southern and western parts generally, although the southwest may see some rain at first. Otherwise, northern and eastern areas will see the most frequent showers and are at greatest risk of some more persistent spells of rain. Winds will be mostly light to moderate, although eastern coasts may be rather windy, with temperatures generally a little below normal, but rising to around or just above normal across western parts during the week. It is likely to remain unsettled with temperatures around or just below normal through the following weekend and into the next week too.

no 5 of the same idea

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Monday 16 Jun 2008 to Wednesday 25 Jun 2008:

Next week will start off rather cloudy with scattered showers. However, drier conditions and more frequent sunny spells are expected to spread south and east across most parts by midweek. Thereafter, most places should see some fine, dry conditions with sunny spells. However, northwestern areas will become more cloudy with showers or more persistent spells of rain, and these conditions are then likely to spread over western parts later next week. Similar conditions will persist into the following week with the most pleasant weather again likely in the south and east. Rather windy over eastern coasts at first and then in the northwest later in the period. Temperatures rather cool or near normal at first, but becoming warm in the south and east by the end of next week.

subtle changes hinting at higher pressure for the south and south east?
