UK Outlook for Tuesday 8 Jul 2008 to Thursday 17 Jul 2008:

The first half of the period will be generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain at times, some of which will be heavy. There will however also be some drier and brighter intervals, especially in southwestern parts on Tuesday and in eastern areas on Wednesday. Southern and western areas are likely to experience some longer spells of rain on Friday and Saturday. As we move into the following week southern areas are expected to become a bit more settled with more in the way of dry weather and sunshine. However, central and northern areas are more likely to experience further showers or perhaps some longer spells of rain at times. The temperature will be generally near normal.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 9 Jul 2008 to Friday 18 Jul 2008:

Rain, heavy at times, will spread northeastwards across the United Kingdom during Wednesday and Thursday, although the rain will clear to showers in the south and west later. Then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday conditions will remain generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain at times, although there will also be some drier and brighter intervals in between with some sunshine. Then as we head through the following week the weather is expected to gradually become more settled, especially in southern and eastern areas where it will become mainly dry and bright. However further north and west there are likely to be further showers or spells of rain at times. Temperatures will be generally near normal, although it will become warm at times in any sunnier conditions.

UK Outlook for Saturday 12 Jul 2008 to Monday 21 Jul 2008:

Generally unsettled through this weekend with showers across southern areas, some locally heavy and thundery, especially on Saturday. Drier in the north on Saturday with sunny spells and a few showers, before cloud and rain spreads in from the north-west on Sunday and edges southwards. The first half of the following week looks as though it will remain unsettled in the north and west with rain or showers at times, although becoming more settled in the south and east with a trend for longer dry spells with some sunshine. Temperatures near normal, although rather cool in showers and slightly above for some eastern parts later. There is a hint at the moment of a ridge building into the south for the second half of next week bringing more settled conditions.

UK Outlook for Sunday 13 Jul 2008 to Tuesday 22 Jul 2008:

Cloud and outbreaks of rain spreading slowly across the UK reaching most places by late Sunday. Rain perhaps preceded by isolated showers in the south-east. Cloud and rain then clearing to bright spells and showers on Monday. Remaining fairly unsettled then through a large part of next week with showers, some locally heavy but some longer spells of rain at times especially in the north and west. The best of the drier and brighter intervals are expected in the south and south-east. Windy at times mainly in the north and west. Temperatures near normal, although rather cool at times. There is a hint at the moment of a ridge building into the south later next week and into the start of the following week, bringing more settled conditions here.

UK Outlook for Monday 14 Jul 2008 to Wednesday 23 Jul 2008:

Monday is expected to be dry, bright and quite warm over much of the U.K. before cloud and rain spreads in across many northern and western parts Tuesday, with mainly fine conditions hanging on in the south and east. It will then remain unsettled generally through much of next week with showers, some locally heavy and also with longer spells of rain at times especially in the north and west. The best of the drier and brighter intervals are still expected in the south and south-east. Rather windy at times, especially in the north and west. Temperatures near normal, although rather cool at times. There is a hint of a ridge building again in the south late next week and early the following week, to bring more settled conditions here.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 15 Jul 2008 to Thursday 24 Jul 2008:

On Tuesday and Wednesday the south and east will be warm, dry and bright at first, although cloud and locally heavy outbreaks of rain in the north and west will gradually spread southeastwards to all areas. Then the period Thursday through to Saturday will be unsettled with showers or longer spells of occasionally heavy rain, although there will also be some drier and brighter spells in between. The temperature during this period will be mainly rather cool. Beyond Saturday the indications are that the weather will continue to move in from a westerly quarter and remain generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain at times. The wettest conditions are likely to be found in the northwest with the southeast having the best of the sunshine.

UK Outlook for Saturday 19 Jul 2008 to Monday 28 Jul 2008:

Some sunny spells through the weekend but also cloudy periods with rain or showers, with the north most likely to see some heavier or more persistent outbreaks. South-western parts are less likely to see showers. Temperatures generally below normal and feeling rather cool. It may become more settled for a few days next week, with a hint of some drier weather possible across southernmost counties with temperatures recovering to nearer normal. The unsettled conditions are likely to continue across the north though with rain or showers and the most persistent and perhaps heaviest rain is likely across the north and north-west. There is a hint for the end of next week and into the following week of a ridge of High pressure in the south-west, although continuing unsettled further north.

UK Outlook for Sunday 20 Jul 2008 to Tuesday 29 Jul 2008:

North-western and central areas will see bright spells and showers on Sunday but more persistent rain on Monday, heavy at times. Elsewhere drier with sunny spells, just the chance of occasional showers, although south-western parts likely to remain dry throughout. Temperatures generally below normal and feeling rather cool. Tuesday through to Thursday will see north-western parts often cloudy with showers or rain, this possibly heavy at times, especially later. Further south and east will generally be drier and brighter with some good spells of fine weather and temperatures recovering to near normal, perhaps warm in the south-east. Towards the end of next week and into the following week, a ridge of High pressure is expected to build across the southern half of the UK, although continuing unsettled further north.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 23 Jul 2008 to Friday 1 Aug 2008:

There will be rain at times across the northwest and far north on Wednesday, but elsewhere will be dry with some sunshine, though there is a small risk of some thundery showers in the south later on Wednesday and through the early hours of Thursday. Remaining rather unsettled in the north from Thursday till Sunday with a good deal of cloud and some rain at times. In the south and east it will stay more settled with some good spells of sunshine, but also a few showers, and it could be quite warm at times in the southeast. From Sunday to the following Friday it may become more settled with a chance of some slightly more summery weather, especially in the south.

UK Outlook for Thursday 24 Jul 2008 to Saturday 2 Aug 2008:

There will be rain at times across the far north of the UK on Thursday, but elsewhere will be mainly dry with some sunshine, though a few thundery showers may develop through the day. Friday will be rather unsettled with showers or longer outbreaks of locally heavy rain, and also some drier brighter spells too, and rather warm in the southeast. From Saturday to Monday there will be a good deal of cloud and some showery rain in the north and west. The south and east should be drier with some sunshine, but rain is likely here aswell by Monday. Unsettled again on Tuesday with showers or longer spells of rain, but the rest of the outlook looks to be settled, warmer and more summery than of late.

UK Outlook for Friday 25 Jul 2008 to Sunday 3 Aug 2008:

After a dry and bright start in central and eastern areas on Friday, scattered thundery showers in the south-west are expected to spread northwards through the day, to reach many areas by the end of the day. There will be an increased risk of more widespread showers or even longer periods of locally thundery rain on Saturday too. It is expected to remain essentially unsettled from Sunday to Tuesday with showers or rain, although there should be some drier and brighter interludes. For the rest of the week, it looks as though it could be dry and largely fine in the south but more unsettled further north and west. Warm or very warm at first, but temperatures gradually lowering and becoming near normal from the west.

UK Outlook for Saturday 26 Jul 2008 to Monday 4 Aug 2008:

Thundery outbreaks of rain in central and eastern parts on Saturday will move away to be replaced by brighter, fresher conditions with scattered showers from the west. During Sunday and Monday many southern and eastern parts will see dry and fine weather with showers confined to the northwest. This sets the scene for much of next week, although from time to time further bands of potentially thundery showers could spread across all areas from the southwest. All in all, the best of the weather with the longest spells of sunshine in the next two weeks will be in southern and eastern parts, where temperatures will be warm or perhaps very warm at times. Temperatures in the north and west will be around or only a little above normal.

UK Outlook for Sunday 27 Jul 2008 to Tuesday 5 Aug 2008:

Rain across the far northeast clearing by Sunday morning, otherwise sunny spells and isolated showers. More frequent showers at times in the extreme west on Sunday which could be heavy. Through much of next week, the best chance of dry weather will be across eastern England. However, bands of potentially thundery showers could spread across many areas from the southwest at times, particularly during the first part of next week. Many areas next week will be warm, perhaps locally very warm However, more generally unsettled and cooler conditions are possible by early August with some heavy rain at times, particularly in the north-west. The driest conditions generally in the south-east though. It is likely to become breezy at times.

UK Outlook for Monday 28 Jul 2008 to Wednesday 6 Aug 2008:

Unsettled with outbreaks of rain, risk of thunder, running northeastwards across many parts on Monday. The rain clearing the northeast during Tuesday morning with drier and brighter conditions following, although a chance of further rain spreading to the west-southwest later.

More widespread showers and longer spells of rain, locally heavy or thundery, moving north at times. Generally warm, although very warm or hot at times, but cooler in wetter spells. Generally unsettled conditions are possible in early August with some heavy rain at times, particularly in the north-west. The driest conditions generally in the south-east though. Temperatures are likely to return to near normal.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 29 Jul 2008 to Thursday 7 Aug 2008:

For much of the United Kingdom, the weather will remain very warm and humid for the rest of July with spells of sunshine, although a band of thundery rain is expected to spread slowly northwards across southern parts on Tuesday and northern parts on Wednesday. The last day of July and the first day of August look set to be particularly hot across southeastern Britain, while being significantly cooler and showery towards the northwest of Scotland and Northern Ireland. From this weekend onwards a trend towards more showery, fresher weather is expected, courtesy of a more westerly airflow. Even so, there should still be some pleasantly warm sunshine at times, especially across southern and eastern areas.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Jul 2008 to Friday 8 Aug 2008:

For much of the United Kingdom the weather will remain warm and rather humid for the rest of July with spells of sunshine and a scattering of heavy and potentially thundery showers. Heading into the weekend, the weather look set to be become cool, breezy and unsettled in the north and west, with spells of rain. Still quite warm in the south and east over the weekend, though generally drier and brighter with a fresher feel. Beyond the weekend, the weather is set to turn cooler and increasing unsettled across all parts, with showers or longer spells of rain. Once again, the north and west will probably have the most unsettled and breezy weather next week, with southeast England fairing best.

UK Outlook for Thursday 31 Jul 2008 to Saturday 9 Aug 2008:

Initially the south and east will be mainly dry and very warm but outbreaks of rain and nearer normal temperatures in the west will have spread to most other parts of the country by Friday. Then the period Saturday through to Monday will be generally unsettled with either rain or showers in most districts. These will be heaviest and most widespread in the north and west whereas the driest and brightest conditions are most likely in the south and east. The temperature will be mostly around or slightly warmer than average. Thereafter it looks likely that the weather will move in from the west or southwest, with unsettled conditions prevailing. We can therefore expect either showers or spells of more prolonged rain, with temperatures close to or slightly below average.

UK Outlook for Friday 1 Aug 2008 to Sunday 10 Aug 2008:

Low pressure systems spreading in from the Atlantic will bring showers and spells of rain interspersed with some short-lived drier, brighter interludes generally through most of this period. The best of any dry, sunny conditions are likely to be across southern and eastern parts of England with the most frequent outbreaks of rain to be expected over northern and western parts of the UK, especially northwest Scotland. It will be rather windy at times, especially over northern Scotland and southwest England. However, there is a hint that conditions may become slightly more settled from the southwest towards the end of the outlook period. Temperatures will be generally near normal, but it should be above normal or rather warm in the southeast at times.

UK Outlook for Monday 4 Aug 2008 to Wednesday 13 Aug 2008:

Low pressure is likely to remain close to or over the United Kingdom for much of this forecast period. The weather is therefore expected to remain very unsettled with rain or showers at times. Some of the rain or showers are likely to be heavy and prolonged, with all areas at risk of some significant rainfall. Some of the rain may turn thundery on occasions, the risk being greatest for central and eastern areas. There are also indications that one or two days may become significantly windy too. Between the rain and showers, some sunshine is likely, and at times it should feel reasonably warm, but will be rather cool in rain. Later, there are hints that high pressure may become more dominant bringing more settled conditions to some areas.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 6 Aug 2008 to Friday 15 Aug 2008:

The weather look set to remain disappointingly unsettled and changeable throughout the period, with little sign of any prolonged spell of fine weather to come. A flow of air from the Atlantic will bring occasional showers, and at times longer spells of rain, to all parts of the United Kingdom. The north and west will probably receive the wettest weather, with the best of any sunnier weather most likely towards the south and east. It will also be rather windy at times in the south and southwest too. Temperatures will be generally near to below the seasonal average, especially in the north and west, though temporarily very warm in the southeast of England during the middle of next week.
