UK Outlook for Monday 26 Oct 2009 to Wednesday 4 Nov 2009:

A bright morning for most on Monday, but further rain is expected to spread to western areas later on Monday with the east continuing drier and brighter. Strong southerly winds will develop. Tuesday is likely to be a wet day for most with rain or showers. Temperatures near or above normal. Wednesday through to Friday looks like it will form into a southeast-northwest split with heavy rain or showers and strong southerly winds in the north and west with the southeast remaining drier and clearer with possible overnight mist and fog problems. Some ground frost may develop in the east. For the weekend and early part of next week it looks as though it will continue in a similar pattern with the southeast drier, and the west and north wetter.

UK Outlook for Saturday 31 Oct 2009 to Monday 9 Nov 2009:

On Saturday, the last day of October, rain is expected to gradually clear away from the southeast of England during the morning, to leave most places bright, mild and breezy with a mix of sunny intervals and scattered showers. The showers most prevalent towards the north and west of the United Kingdom. After a dry and bright start across northern and eastern Britain on Sunday, wet and windier weather is forecast to spread northeastwards to most places by the end of the afternoon. The unsettled theme is then expected to continue throughout the rest of the period with spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed by brighter, showery conditions. Remaining generally mild for the first week of November, before turning steadily colder from next weekend.

UK Outlook for Friday 6 Nov 2009 to Sunday 15 Nov 2009:

During Friday or early Saturday a band of cloud and locally heavy rain is expected to cross the country from the west, accompanied by some strong winds. This will be followed by a cool, showery regime, with showers most frequent and heaviest in the west, and cold enough for sleet or snow over the highest ground in the north. This very unsettled pattern, with showers or longer outbreaks of rain, and sometimes with strong winds is likely to continue for much of the period. However, more sheltered eastern parts will have light winds at times and be at risk of some slight overnight frost. Somewhat drier and milder conditions may develop in southern and eastern parts later in the period.

UK Outlook for Saturday 14 Nov 2009 to Monday 23 Nov 2009:

The first weekend of the period is forecast to be partly cloudy and windy, with blustery showers. The showers most prevalent and heaviest in the west, with local hail and thunder, while it should be drier and brighter further east. For the rest of the period, it looks set to remain unsettled with spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed with brighter, showery conditions. The wettest and windiest weather is more likely to be focussed towards the north and west, with eastern England generally faring best. In fact, by next weekend, there is a hint of more settled conditions across eastern Britain, with fog and frost perhaps more likely. Temperatures should be fairly typical for November, although it may turn noticeably colder late in the period.

UK Outlook for Sunday 15 Nov 2009 to Tuesday 24 Nov 2009:

After a bright and breezy start on Sunday with scattered showers, increasingly wet and windy weather is expected to spread northeastwards later in the day and overnight. By Monday, many places should be under the influence of bright, blustery and showery weather, though with more prolonged rain and gales likely in the far northwest. For the rest of the period, it looks set to remain unsettled with further spells of wet and windy weather at times, although the wettest and windiest weather is more likely to be focussed towards the west. By next weekend, there is a hint of more settled conditions across eastern England, with fog and frost perhaps more likely here. Temperatures should be fairly typical for November, though perhaps turning colder late in the period.

UK Outlook for Monday 16 Nov 2009 to Wednesday 25 Nov 2009:

A band of locally heavy rain is expected to move northeastwards across the United Kingdom during Monday followed by a mixture of bright or sunny spells and showers on Tuesday. It looks set to be windy at times with a risk of gales in places. Thereafter the weather looks likely to remain generally changeable with the wind tending to blow from a southwesterly direction for much of the time. During this spell we can expect northern and western parts to remain unsettled and often very windy with either showers or longer spells of rain. Southern and eastern areas are also likely to have some unsettled weather at times, but here there will also be some drier, clearer periods with a risk of overnight and morning fog patches.

The mention of the possibility of colder weather has perhaps unsuprisingly vanished from their outlook today.

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Tuesday 17 Nov 2009 to Thursday 26 Nov 2009:

The general weather pattern is likely to remain unsettled throughout the forecast period with the wind blowing from a southwesterly quarter for most of the time. We can expect showers or longer spells of rain across the United Kingdom, the rain occasionally becoming heavy and prolonged, especially in northern and western areas, and the showers turning wintry at times on the higher of the Scottish mountains. There will also be some drier, brighter spells, the best of these most likely to develop in southern and eastern areas, especially during the second week. It looks likely to be windy at times with gales near coasts and over hills, especially in the northwest, and the temperature will most likely be close to or slightly above the November average.

So the hint of colder weather 'towards the end of the period' has disappeared for good now...

Yep! Although they are only expecting temperatures to be close to or slightly above the norm ATM. Still a disappointing outlook though.

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Saturday 21 Nov 2009 to Monday 30 Nov 2009:

Very unsettled and at times windy weather is expected to persist across the United Kingdom throughout this forecast period. There will be further spells of rain interspersed with clearer or brighter conditions, but also showers. Some of the rain or showers will be heavy, especially across western hills. Some drier interludes are also expected for some eastern and southern areas especially. Strong winds or gales are likely at times too, especially in the north and west with a risk of severe gales early in the period. Temperatures should remain above average to very mild, though there are indications that it may turn a little colder later, towards the end of next week, with showers turning wintry over northern hills and an increasing risk of overnight frost in the north.
