UK Outlook for Friday 23 Apr 2010 to Sunday 2 May 2010:

Although cold northerly winds with wintry showers will affect the far north at first, for much of this period, winds from between south and west are likely to persist across the UK bringing unsettled weather to all parts. This will mean some cloudy and wet days with spells of rain, interspersed with brighter days with sunny spells and showers. Most of the rain is likely across northern and western areas, especially the northwest. It will sometimes be windy in these areas as well with a risk of gales in exposed parts. Driest weather expected in the south and east, especially the southeast. Temperatures near normal to rather warm, the warmest conditions likely in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Sunday 25 Apr 2010 to Tuesday 4 May 2010:

For the first week or so of the outlook period, northern and western parts of the UK will see a good deal of unsettled weather, with cloud and outbreaks of rain or showers at times, although some drier and brighter intervals are also likely. Further south and east, more settled weather with a reasonable amount of sunshine is expected to prevail, but the odd shower should not be ruled out even here. Over the weekend, however, the unsettled theme is likely to spread to all areas. It will be breezy at times, particularly in northwestern parts, with sometimes strong winds from the south or west. Temperatures are expected to be generally near normal in northern and western areas and rather warm, occasionally warm, in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 19 May 2010 to Friday 28 May 2010:

During the first half of the period, the weather is expected to be rather unsettled with variable cloud amounts and rain at times, including the odd heavier burst.

Beyond the weekend, the unsettled theme continues, with rain or showers likely in northern and eastern areas, the best of the brighter spells therefore now in the southwest. With northerly or northeasterly winds, it is anticipated that temperatures will gradually decrease relative to the seasonal average, becoming rather cool everywhere by the end of the week.

Did i see a word call a thunderstorms in there

UK Outlook for Friday 21 May 2010 to Sunday 30 May 2010:

Initially northwestern areas will be rather cloudy with occasional rain or drizzle, although elsewhere we can expect many places to be dry and bright, but with heavy showers or thunderstorms affecting some inland locations. Then as we head into the last week of the month, it looks likely that largely fine conditions will continue in many areas, especially in southern, central and western parts, but that northern and northeastern areas will tend to be cloudier and breezier at times with a higher risk of showers. The temperature during this spell is likely to be warm or locally very warm at first, with a generally rather humid feel, but as we head towards the end of the month it is expected to become cooler in northern and eastern parts.
