[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Friday 14 Aug 2009 to Sunday 23 Aug 2009:

A fine and sunny start in the southeast, then rain or showers in the north and west spreading southeastwards to most parts during Friday and Saturday. This clears away early Sunday, all but the far northwest of the UK seeing some settled conditions with light winds and spells of sunshine through to around midweek. Still some rain or showers for northwest Scotland though. From Wednesday onwards, a north/south split with further rather wet and windy weather returning to northern Britain, southern Britain, although seeing some showery spells, having the best of some dry, fine and sunny spells. Temperatures, generally near normal in the north, even cool at times, whilst the south sees a mix of near to a little above average temperatures, but with occasional warmer interludes in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Sunday 16 Aug 2009 to Tuesday 25 Aug 2009:

The North and East should start Sunday wet and windy, with a risk of gales in some northeastern parts. However, conditions should improve during the day. The south and west should be brighter with a few showers. Most parts should have a fine day on Monday, but it is likely to become wet and windy in the northwest later. A return to more unsettled weather is expected for all parts during the middle of next week, especially in the north and west. Some drier, warmer and brighter interludes are also likely, particularly in the south and east. Unsettled conditions are likely to persist in the longer term, with again the best of the weather expected in the south and east. Temperatures through the period should be mostly near normal.

UK Outlook for Monday 17 Aug 2009 to Wednesday 26 Aug 2009:

Many southern parts should be dry and bright on Monday, although thicker cloud in Northern Ireland and Western Scotland will bring some rain. There is a risk of this rain spreading into some other northern and eastern parts. Tuesday should start dry but rain is expected to spread into western parts, with heavy rain in the northwest. The second half of next week is likely to become unsettled in all parts, although some dry and brighter interludes are also expected, especially in the southeast. Temperatures are likely to be near normal, but perhaps warm in the brighter spells in the southeast. The further outlook is expected to continue in the same vein, with the most unsettled conditions in the northwest, and the best of the weather in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 19 Aug 2009 to Friday 28 Aug 2009:

Dry in the south and east at first with temperatures well above average, possibly becoming hot at times. Rain is expected to affect northern and western parts at the start of the period and this gradually spreads southeast on Thursday and Friday to affect the rest of the UK. The weather remains changeable throughout the rest of the forecast period with showers or longer periods of rain expected but also some drier and sunnier conditions at times. Rain is most likely in the northwest and it may become windy at times while the south and east remain drier and sunnier, although still with a chance of rain at times. Temperatures are likely to be around average for much of the United Kingdom, with the southeast warmest and the northwest coolest.

UK Outlook for Saturday 22 Aug 2009 to Monday 31 Aug 2009:

Rather cloudy on Saturday across the UK with showers or spells of rain, these occasionally heavy. Drier spells in the southeast at first. On Sunday drier, brighter and warmer weather for a time in the east, before further rain is forecast to spread across western areas and then to eastern areas during the evening, overnight and into Monday. The northwest / southeast split looks as though it will continue through the week with locally warm, brighter periods in the southeast and further periods of rain in the north and west. A similar trend looks as though it will continue in the following weekend and for Monday with the best of the weather in the southeast and wetter conditions in the northwest.

UK Outlook for Monday 24 Aug 2009 to Wednesday 2 Sep 2009:

From Monday through to Friday, there looks as though there will be a northwest / southeast split across the country with it remaining rather unsettled in the north and west with rain or showers, the rain heavy at times. It may also be windy here at times as well as rather cool. However, more southern and eastern areas are likely to see the best of any drier and sunnier weather, where temperatures will also be nearer or slightly above normal. A similar trend looks as though it will continue through the weekend and for the first half of the following week with the brighter, drier weather in the southeast and rain or showers at times in the northwest.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 26 Aug 2009 to Friday 4 Sep 2009:

Dry at first on Wednesday before rain arrives in the northwest, this spreading east to affect many parts of the UK for a time although southern and eastern parts are expected to stay mainly dry and fine. This pattern continues throughout the forecast period with northern and western parts remaining unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain but also some drier and sunnier interludes. Southern and eastern parts are more likely to remain drier and sunnier although some showers or rain can be expected at times. Temperatures are likely to be around average across the UK for most of the forecast periods, although some southern and eastern parts may be warmer than average at times, with a chance of some very warm temperatures at first in southeastern parts.

UK Outlook for Saturday 29 Aug 2009 to Monday 7 Sep 2009:

The bank holiday weekend is expected to be generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain, especially in northern areas where some will be heavy and it will be windy at times. The best of the weekend weather is likely to be found in southern and eastern parts where there will be some sunshine at times and any rain or showers will be relatively light and patchy. Beyond the bank holiday it looks likely to be generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain spreading from the west, but with some drier, brighter spells mixed in too, especially in the southeast where later in the period it may become dry. Temperatures - generally close to average, although it may become warm at times in the east.

UK Outlook for Sunday 30 Aug 2009 to Tuesday 8 Sep 2009:

On Sunday, wet and windy weather is expected to spread northeastwards across Northern Ireland and Scotland. At the same time, much of England and Wales can expect warm and bright weather, albeit turning cloudy and damp in the northwest. For much of England and Wales, Monday should be fine and very warm, especially in the south and east. Meanwhile, rain is set to continue on Monday across Northern Ireland and Scotland, although it may become brighter in the south and east. The first week of September is expected to get off to a fine and very warm start on Tuesday, if not hot in the southeast. However, cooler and unsettled weather is expected to spread from the west to affect most parts over the following days.

UK Outlook for Monday 31 Aug 2009 to Wednesday 9 Sep 2009:

Rain at times across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday may become confined to the far northwest during the day. Elsewhere generally dry and warm, the best of the sunshine in the south and east, becoming very warm in the southeast. But it doesn't last, with rain and perhaps thunderstorms spreading eastwards Tuesday and Wednesday marking the start of another changeable spell of weather for the UK. This changeable weather with winds often between west and southwest will see northwestern areas getting most of the rain, driest conditions in the south and east and especially the southeast. Windy at times especially in the north and west. So, rain on some days, sunny spells and showers on others. Temperatures mostly near or a little above normal.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 1 Sep 2009 to Thursday 10 Sep 2009:

On Tuesday, a band of rain is expected to spread eastwards across central and eastern England, with brighter but showery weather following in its wake elsewhere. By Wednesday, the whole of the United Kingdom is expected to be in a bright, breezy and showery regime, although the showers should be most prevalent and heaviest towards the north and west. For the rest of the week and into the weekend, the weather is looking very unsettled, with either showers or longer spells of wet and windy weather, especially in the west and north. The best of any drier and warmer weather is most likely across eastern England. Looking beyond the weekend it remains generally cool and changeable, although there are signs for the weather settling down across southern Britain later.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 2 Sep 2009 to Friday 11 Sep 2009:

Perhaps dry for many parts at first on Wednesday but with showers developing during the day followed by persistent rain and strong, gusty winds spreading in from the west later. This wind and rain clears later on Thursday giving way to sunny intervals and blustery showers. Further rain or showers expected on Friday and into the weekend, mainly in the north as the south becomes more settled with drier and sunnier weather expected. The weather continues to be more settled than of late as we head into the following week, becoming drier and sunnier for many parts of the United Kingdom. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly below normal at first, possibly becoming warm by day with some cooler nights by the end of the period.

UK Outlook for Thursday 3 Sep 2009 to Saturday 12 Sep 2009:

Rain clears on Thursday to be replaced by a mix of showers, some of which will be heavy and sunny intervals. It will be breezy too, with winds strongest in the north and west.

UK Outlook for Friday 4 Sep 2009 to Sunday 13 Sep 2009:

Sunshine and showers on Friday, and perhaps longer periods of rain in the north and east. Showers ease in the south with many parts dry on Saturday, but remaining unsettled in the north. Windy at first across the UK, especially in the north, but winds ease in England and Wales during the day.

The north likely to stay unsettled with rain and strong winds at times. Temperatures below normal at first, with some cool nights expected, but recovering to around normal by the end of the period, possibly becoming warm in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Thursday 10 Sep 2009 to Saturday 19 Sep 2009:

Most parts will be dry Thursday and Friday with some sunshine after any early mist or fog lifts and clears, although the far southeast and the far northwest may be cloudier Thursday. The weekend is expected to continue dry with sunny spells over central and southern Britain, again after the clearance of overnight local mist or fog. The far north will be cloudier, with a little rain, with this extending southwards as far as northwest England at times. It will also be generally warm, especially in the south. Little change is expected beyond that in the south, with the mostly fine and dry weather continuing. The north will be cloudier, however, with a little rain at times, and this may also extend southwards to some central parts later.

UK Outlook for Saturday 12 Sep 2009 to Monday 21 Sep 2009:

High pressure keeps the weather relatively settled during the first part of the forecast period, and most areas are likely to remain largely dry with rain largely confined to the north. There are likely to be some sunny periods, the best of these in the south during the first weekend, although it will tend to become cloudier across the UK during the following week. Heading into the second weekend the weather is likely to become more unsettled, with more cloud and showery rain spreading from the northwest to affect many parts by the end of the forecast period. Temperatures will generally be above average for the time of year at first, possibly becoming very warm in the south, although they return to near normal by the end of the period.

High pressure will maintain dry and settled conditions during the first week although there may be a little drizzle in some western areas at first. Some warm sunshine in all areas during the day with temperatures near or a little above normal. Winds mostly light but breezy at times along English Channel coasts. Rather chilly at night with a few mist and fog patches in places and perhaps even a touch of ground frost in some rural northern parts. In the second week, some western and northern areas may see a return of unsettled weather with rain at times and stronger winds while southern and eastern areas are most likely to stay settled and mainly dry.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 15 Sep 2009 to Thursday 24 Sep 2009:

Much of the country will remain dry through the middle of next week and over next weekend, but with variable amounts of cloud. Some sunny spells are likely, more especially in the southwest of England and Southwest Wales at first. The far Northwest of Scotland could see a little little rain at times, with also a small risk of showers extending into far south and southeast of England. Temperatures in all parts should be near normal, and feeling pleasant in sunshine. Southern and Central parts should start mainly dry and fine in the longer outlook, but there is a low risk of it turning more unsettled with time. The Northwest is expected to turn more unsettled with occasional showers or rain.

UK Outlook for Thursday 17 Sep 2009 to Saturday 26 Sep 2009:

Northern and western parts of the U.K. are expected to be dry and bright Thursday, with much of eastern and southeast England cloudier, giving showers and perhaps a few longer outbreaks of rain, too. It will also feel cool here in a rather brisk northeasterly breeze. By the weekend the southeast is likely to generally dry, with increasing amounts of sunshine. However the north and west are likely to become more unsettled and windy at times, with more cloud and occasional rain. This is also likely to later edge further south into some central areas. Thereafter unsettled conditions, with rain at times, are likely to affect the northwestern half of the UK., with gales in places. The southeast, however, should stay predominately dry, and also rather warm at times.
