Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Wednesday 21 Mar 2012 to Friday 30 Mar 2012:

Mainly dry and bright with light winds for later next week and next weekend. However, the far south may well see some outbreaks of showery rain. Meanwhile, parts of the far northwest UK will be cloudier and breezier, with occasional rain. Initially it will be mild by night, with daytime maximum temperatures also mild or very mild, but feeling cooler under cloud-cover. However, from the weekend, temperatures will begin to show large swings from day to night, with overnight frost and fog patches likely and daytime temperatures rising to well above average away from windward coasts or where sea breezes develop. Generally fine and dry conditions should then dominate the last week of March, with windier and more unsettled weather in the far northwest.

UK Outlook for Thursday 22 Mar 2012 to Saturday 31 Mar 2012:

Mainly dry, although often rather cloudy with light winds at first. However, the far south may well see some outbreaks of showery rain, which may push further north later on Friday. Chilly overnight where there are clear spells, with warm daytime maximums, but feeling cooler under cloud-cover. Temperatures showing large swings from day to night from the weekend, with overnight frost and fog patches likely and daytime temperatures rising to well above average away from windward coasts or where sea breezes develop. Many areas will probably remain dry during the last week of March with some bright spells, although there is an increasing risk of some rain spreading into southern and western parts at times, with more unsettled weather more likely to affect the north later in the week.

UK Outlook for Friday 23 Mar 2012 to Sunday 1 Apr 2012:

Most places will be dry although often rather cloudy at first. Showers are likely to affect southern parts of the UK on Friday, these possibly spreading into central and eastern areas by Saturday. Temperatures will probably be largely above average by day but there is a chance of some overnight fog and frost. Many areas will probably remain dry during the first half of the following week with some bright spells by day and some clear periods overnight. Temperatures will continue to be warm by day, but chilly overnight with a continuing chance of fog and frost in places. There is an increasing risk of more unsettled, cooler conditions affecting the UK during the second half of the week and into the following weekend, especially in the northwest.

UK Outlook for Saturday 24 Mar 2012 to Monday 2 Apr 2012:

Aside from the odd shower in southeast England on Saturday, most places will be dry this weekend with some sunny periods. Eastern and perhaps some southwestern parts of the UK are likely to cloudier with mist and fog in places, especially around the coast. Many areas will probably remain dry during the following week and into April with some sunny spells by day and clear periods overnight. However, a few showers may develop near northern and eastern coasts by early April, perhaps turning locally wintry. Temperatures will probably be above average at first, especially in any sunshine, but will decrease towards the end of the month, with daytime temperatures generally nearer average and an increasing risk of overnight frost in any clear periods by the start of April.

UK Outlook for Sunday 25 Mar 2012 to Tuesday 3 Apr 2012:

Most parts will be dry with light winds, variable amounts of cloud and some warm sunny spells. However, some eastern counties are likely to be rather cloudy, at least at first, with some low cloud, mist or fog affecting these areas at times, and possibly spreading westwards overnight. Temperatures by day will be largely above average, particularly in sunny spells, but where cloud persists, temperatures are likely to be markedly lower. Some chilly nights are to be expected under clear spells, with frost developing as well as some mist or fog. Towards the end of March there is an indication that the far north of the UK may become cooler and more showery, with stronger winds.

UK Outlook for Monday 26 Mar 2012 to Wednesday 4 Apr 2012:

Mainly dry with variable amounts of cloud. Low cloud and mist is likely on some eastern coasts during the first few days and extend westwards overnight, before retreating back to coastal areas again during the daytimes. Central and western areas will generally have clearer weather with some warm sunshine, with this extending to all parts with time. Daytime temperatures will be largely above average, particularly in sunny spells, but cooler in any cloudier eastern areas at first. Some chilly nights are to be expected with a touch of frost possible. It will remain drier than average with little rain. In early April there is the possibility of more unsettled spells in the far north, with temperatures a little below average here, perhaps leading to occasional wintry weather over northernmost hills.

UK Outlook for Thursday 29 Mar 2012 to Saturday 7 Apr 2012:

A fine and dry start to the period is expected, with a good deal of sunshine for many areas, though perhaps cloudier near the east coast. Still warm in southern parts of the UK at this stage, but already beginning to turn cooler in the north. From the beginning of April, temperatures are likely to return nearer to average across all areas, with some quite chilly nights bringing the possibility of patchy frost. It will also turn more unsettled and windier, particularly in the north of the UK, with rain or showers at times, though there will also still be periods of dry and more settled weather. In the far north, it may be cold enough for showers to turn wintry at times, with some hill snow possible.

UK Outlook for Saturday 31 Mar 2012 to Monday 9 Apr 2012:

Mainly cloudy this weekend with some light rain, particularly in the south and west on Saturday. Sunny spells are most likely in the northeast of the UK, amongst scattered showers. Temperatures are likely to return nearer to average across all areas, with some quite chilly nights bringing the possibility of patchy frost and fog. Some sunshine will return to southern areas into the start of next week, with daytime temperatures perhaps a little above normal here, although the risk of overnight frost continuing. The north and particularly northwest, is likely to be windier, with rain or showers at times and it may be cold enough for some hill snow in the far north. Towards the end of next week, unsettled conditions are likely to spread south to all areas.

UK Outlook for Monday 2 Apr 2012 to Wednesday 11 Apr 2012:

Less settled than of late with showers or longer spells of rain across northern parts of the UK at first next week, with some sleet or snow over the hills, and perhaps some wintry showers to lower levels in the far north. Further south, probably staying mainly dry and brighter with some sunshine at times. Maximum temperatures then near average for many by day, though it will be colder in the far north but still feel pleasant during brighter conditions to the south. Quite chilly by night under any clearer skies, perhaps with frost or fog patches. Unsettled conditions are likely to become confined to the far north and northwest of the UK by mid week before, perhaps, starting to spread further southwards again towards the end of the period.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 3 Apr 2012 to Thursday 12 Apr 2012:

Less settled than recent days, at least initially, with showers affecting southern and eastern parts in particular. However as the first week progresses the more unsettled weather will become confined to northern parts, with showers or longer spells of rain here, some of which could be heavy in the northwest. Southern areas on the other hand will become somewhat drier by the end of this first week, with the best of any sunshine developing here. Temperatures will be closer to average compared to recent days and it is likely to feel cold in the north at times. Into the second week there is a signal for the more unsettled weather in the north to spread gradually south into more of the UK, although perhaps not reaching the far south.

UK Outlook for Saturday 14 Apr 2012 to Saturday 28 Apr 2012:

Conditions look set to remain on the unsettled side, with showers or longer spells of rain affecting most areas, giving close to average rainfall amounts for much of the UK, perhaps slightly above in some places. It is likely to continue to feel cool, if not fairly chilly, particularly compared to the recent very warm spell, with temperature quite widely around or just below the seasonal average. Sunshine amounts are likely to be highly variable in this unsettled regime, but most places should see close to average amounts.

That looks like the 16 to 30 day update to me

UK forecast - Day 6 to 15

UK Outlook for Wednesday 4 Apr 2012 to Friday 13 Apr 2012:

It will be a cold start, especially when compared to recent days, with a mixture of sunshine and showers, these turning wintry over northern hills. There could be a brief settled spell towards the end of the first week, but generally unsettled weather looks likely to spread across the UK by the Easter Weekend. This will bring spells of persistent and occasionally heavy rain to most parts, but particularly the north. The best of any drier, brighter weather likely towards the south, but some rain is still likely here. It will also be windy at times, particularly in the northwest, with a risk of gales here. Daytime temperatures will be largely around average during this period, but below normal by night for most, with the risk of frost.

How many times do there need to update them

[Alex]

They update them generally once a day but it's the new website that has caused issues, tbh I think the new one is pretty awful. I mean where is the rainfall radar and why can't I see the whole uk observations rather than having to type in loads of places!

UK forecast - Day 6 to 15

UK Outlook for Thursday 5 Apr 2012 to Saturday 14 Apr 2012:

A cold, frosty start, with perhaps a few light wintry showers in the south, although generally fine and dry. Cloudier in the north, with showers or longer spells of rain and perhaps some hill snow. Cloudier conditions, with some light rain spreading to the south later on Friday. Generally unsettled thereafter with spells of persistent and occasionally heavy rain, particularly the north, interspersed with cold, showery spells. The best of any drier, brighter weather likely towards the southwest at first. It will also be windy at times, particularly in the northwest, with a risk of gales here. Daytime temperatures will be largely around average during this period, but below normal by night for most, with the risk of frost in clearer spells.
