Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Don]

Looks like the Metoffice have dropped their idea of a settled period mid month unfortunately. May change of course.

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Wednesday 10 Aug 2011 to Friday 19 Aug 2011:

A mainly fine and dry start on Wednesday. Northern and western parts will then soon turn cloudier with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, heavy at times over high ground. Here, the rest of the week, and the week after, will be mostly unsettled with showers and longer spells of rain. Windy at times with strong winds in exposed areas, temperatures largely near normal. Meanwhile, central, southern and eastern regions will be fine and dry through much of the second half of next week, conditions then also turning warmer but also a little more humid. Here, weather conditions are then expected to turn increasingly unsettled and cooler again towards the end of next week or early the following week.

Northern and western parts mainly cloudy on Thursday with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times over the high ground.

Meanwhile, central, southern and eastern regions seeing the best of any brightness through the rest of next week, perhaps some light and patchy rain at times. Feeling a little warmer, but also humid. Here, weather conditions are then expected to turn increasingly unsettled and cooler again towards the weekend and into the following week, with parts of the southeast likely to see the best of any drier and brighter conditions.

UK Outlook for Friday 12 Aug 2011 to Sunday 21 Aug 2011:

A generally unsettled end to the week with showers or longer spells of rain, some of which maybe heavy at times. However south and southeastern parts may start off dry and fine but the unsettled conditions will extend across here during the weekend. Windy at times, especially towards the west and northwest. Temperatures largely near normal but perhaps warm towards the southeast at first. Heading into middle of the month, unsettled weather is set to continue across most parts, with further spells of rain especially towards the northwest of the UK. South and southeastern parts will see the best of any drier and brighter conditions, especially towards the end of the period. Temperatures likely to remain close to normal but perhaps slightly above in the brighter interludes in the south.

UK Outlook for Sunday 14 Aug 2011 to Tuesday 23 Aug 2011:

A generally unsettled end to the weekend with showers or longer spells of rain in the north, but somewhat drier and brighter in the south. Windy also, especially towards the west and northwest, with temperatures largely near normal across the UK. Heading into Monday, turning somewhat drier and more settled for a time across southern parts, whilst remaining breezy with occasional showers or longer spells of rain further north. These drier conditions continue for southeastern parts until mid-week, with more unsettled conditions in the west spreading erratically southeastwards. Thereafter, changeable conditions are expected for most parts of the UK, with the driest weather mostly towards the southeast. Temperatures likely to remain close to normal but perhaps slightly above in the brighter interludes in the south.

UK Outlook for Monday 15 Aug 2011 to Wednesday 24 Aug 2011:

To start the new week, a generally unsettled picture in the north and west with showers or longer spells of rain, this heavy on western hills, and quite breezy with a risk of gales in the far northwest. Somewhat drier and brighter elsewhere to begin with, but the unsettled weather should move eastwards from midweek to affect most parts of the UK before the end of the week. Thereafter, the changeable conditions seem likely to continue with occasional rain or showers interspersed with drier, brighter periods, but perhaps an increased chance of some brighter and drier days towards the south and east. Temperatures should remain near normal, but occasionally above normal towards the south and east of England, and below normal in the fresher, windier northwest.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 16 Aug 2011 to Thursday 25 Aug 2011:

The period starts rather wet and unsettled towards the west and northwest, with near-normal temperatures for mid-August. The temperature will be tempered somewhat by the brisk wind at times, however. Meanwhile, southeastern parts of the country look favoured for the best dry and bright weather, with temperatures perhaps becoming warm around midweek, giving a chance of thundery showers here towards the weekend. Later in the week, the rest of the country should see cloud become more broken, with some showers but also more in the way of bright or sunny spells expected. The final few days of the period look to generally favour winds from the western quadrant, with more settled conditions narrowly favoured, giving some rainfall but an increased likelihood of dry and bright spells, especially in the east.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 17 Aug 2011 to Friday 26 Aug 2011:

The period starts rather wet and unsettled over many parts, with spells of rain moving erratically eastwards towards the weekend. Near-average temperatures for most will be tempered towards the northwest by the brisk wind here at times. Meanwhile, southeastern parts of the country look favoured for the warmest weather, however this comes coupled with an increasing chance of heavy or thundery showers at times up to and over the weekend. At the same time, other parts of the UK should see fairer weather, with a few showers but also some bright or sunny spells. The final week of the period should again see unsettled weather spread into the northwest, with the UK as a whole most likely seeing a return to unsettled conditions, with winds from the westerly quadrant.

Mainly dry across central and southeastern parts of the country on Saturday with a few light showers possible. Unsettled conditions across the north and west with showers or outbreaks of rain, heavy at times across the far northwest. The unsettled conditions are then expected to spread to all areas through Sunday and into the beginning of next week, with showers or longer spells of rain. Perhaps the showers turning heavy and thundery across southeastern parts of the UK. Temperatures mostly near normal, but warm or very warm for a time towards the southeast. Continuing unsettled for all thereafter, with showers or longer spells of rain, heaviest across the north and west. The best of the drier and brighter interludes across southern and eastern parts. Temperatures expected to be around normal.

UK Outlook for Monday 22 Aug 2011 to Wednesday 31 Aug 2011:

Generally unsettled conditions for the new week. Often breezy and cool in the northwest, with showers or longer spells of rain, and a risk of gales in exposed parts from mid-week, but also some drier, sunnier spells. Elsewhere, some fine and dry weather at times but also a chance of rain or showers, especially towards southern and eastern parts with a higher risk of heavy and thundery rain on occasion, especially on Monday and again mid-week, but occasionally warmer than average at first. It may continue unsettled for most of the UK into the weekend and following week, with showers or longer spells of rain, especially towards the north and west, with the best of the drier and brighter weather further south. Temperatures continuing around normal or just below.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 24 Aug 2011 to Friday 2 Sep 2011:

Rather unsettled later next week, with winds from the westerly quadrant bringing spells of rain separated by brighter but showery conditions. The focus of the wetter weather will be towards the northwest, giving cool conditions here that will be accentuated by occasional strong winds. Elsewhere, temperatures will be nearer-normal, with some fine weather at times and a lesser frequency of rain or showers, although these could be heavy and thundery at first in the southeast. The weekend and following week should continue unsettled, with showers or longer spells of rain predominantly towards the north and west, whilst the south should see more in the way of drier weather. Aside from a few warmer days in the southeast, temperatures should continue to be around or a little below average countrywide.

UK Outlook for Friday 26 Aug 2011 to Sunday 4 Sep 2011:

Rather unsettled conditions are expected to continue through the remainder of August. Mainly westerly winds are expected to bring showers to most areas, although some bright spells are also expected, particularly towards the south and east. Showers may merge into longer spells of rain in northwestern parts of the UK, giving cool conditions here that will be accentuated by occasional strong winds. From Sunday and into the new week, more settled conditions are expected across most parts, with rain and showers becoming largely confined to northern and western areas. Temperatures should continue to be around or a little below average countrywide, although a few warmer days may be expected in the southeast, particularly towards the end of the period.

UK Outlook for Saturday 27 Aug 2011 to Monday 5 Sep 2011:

Unsettled conditions will continue to bring rain or showers to the UK at times over the weekend and into the start of next week, although some drier and sunnier spells are also likely in between. Rain or showers may turn heavy at times with a risk of some thunder, especially on Saturday. Breezy winds are expected across many parts of the UK, becoming strong for a time in the north. From Tuesday, some longer periods of dry and bright weather are possible, however the risk of some outbreaks of rain still exists, particularly in the far north and southwest of the UK. Temperatures are expected to remain close to, or just below normal throughout the period.

UK Outlook for Sunday 28 Aug 2011 to Tuesday 6 Sep 2011:

A general improvement in conditions for next week with a good deal of fine, dry weather across the UK. However there will still be a risk of some showers at first but these will become increasingly confined to the north and east towards midweek, where it will also be quite windy at times. Temperatures generally near normal by day but chilly by night, however it may turn locally warm in the south in the best of the sunny spells. Conditions then expected to start to turn more unsettled again during or just after the weekend after next with a risk of strong winds and heavy rain across northern and western parts, and a threat of thundery showers affecting southern and eastern areas. Temperatures then staying near average for early September.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 31 Aug 2011 to Friday 9 Sep 2011:

Largely dry with a mixture of cloud and bright or sunny spells at the start of the period. Whilst many regions look set to then remain mainly fine and dry through the rest of the week, some western and southwestern areas are likely to turn more unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain, and perhaps some thundery downpours in the south. These unsettled conditions may then spread into other parts of the UK during the weekend and start of the following week. Some chilly nights, especially in the North. Meanwhile, daytime temperatures are expected to be largely around average during the middle part of next week; some indication of warmer conditions developing over southern, eastern and central UK later next week.

UK Outlook for Saturday 3 Sep 2011 to Monday 12 Sep 2011:

The weather is likely to become generally unsettled by next weekend although southeastern areas might stay dry and warm on Saturday. The unsettled weather will last through the following week, with the northwest seeing the bulk of wetter and windier weather, whilst the southeast should see less rainfall and more in the way of drier and brighter conditions. Many places could become quite windy at times with gales possible, particularly for exposed parts of the north and west. Temperatures across northern and western areas will be near-normal on the whole, with the southeast probably rising a little above average at times. The later stages of the outlook period will probably retain the generally unsettled theme, separated by drier and brighter interludes, the best of these towards the south and east.

UK Outlook for Thursday 8 Sep 2011 to Saturday 17 Sep 2011:

Northern and western parts of the country are likely to stay unsettled throughout with showers or longer spells of rain. These will occasionally be heavy, especially towards the far northwest, where gales are possible at times. Southern and eastern parts of Britain will start unsettled with strong southwesterly winds and spells of rain, however, it should gradually become less unsettled with longer drier and brighter spells developing. With winds falling lighter it may start to feel warm at times in any sunshine, especially by the end of the period when it may turn locally very warm. Elsewhere, temperatures will generally stay closer to normal, although perhaps rather cool at times in the northwest of Britain.
