Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 1 Apr - Friday 10 May

Showers or longer spells of rain are likely for many on Wednesday, though there will be sunny spells too. However, a pattern of generally dry weather looks likely to develop over the first few days of May and at the start of the bank holiday weekend. Although it could turn rather cold for a time in the north, day time temperatures are more likely to become warmer again though much less warm than over the Easter weekend. Reduced cloud amounts mean that nights may be fairly cold, with some late frost in susceptible parts of the north. How long the settled weather continues is uncertain and there remains a chance of spells of wet, windy and cooler weather at times, especially in the north and west.

Saturday 11 May - Saturday 25 May

There are indications that fine and dry weather will dominate in this period, with temperatures near or perhaps above the seasonal average. There will be marked day to day regional variations as is usual in Spring. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast. This dry scenario with light winds is far from certain though and there are likely to be spells of wet, windy and cooler weather at times.

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 2 May - Saturday 11 May

On Thursday the north will be breezy with sunshine and showers, while the south will be mostly dry with sunny spells. As we go into the first Bank Holiday weekend of May a pattern of generally dry weather is likely to develop, with some sunshine across most parts, although some western and eventually northern areas may see some more unsettled and windier conditions later. Although it could turn rather cold for a time in the north, day time temperatures are more likely to become warmer again. Nights may be fairly cold, with some late frost in susceptible parts of the north. How long the settled weather continues is uncertain and there remains a chance of spells of wet, windy and cooler weather at times, especially in the north and west.

Sunday 12 May - Sunday 26 May

There is low confidence in the detail at the start of this period, with a chance of some changeable conditions at first, but by the middle of the month there are indications that more settled weather will begin to dominate. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with a risk of occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast, with the north and northwest probably seeing some cooler spells at times.

[Summer Sun]

Friday 3 May - Sunday 12 May

Some showery rain pushes southeastwards on Friday, interspersed with brighter spells. Colder, showery conditions will spread into the north later, with the showers turning wintry over the Scottish mountains. During the Bank Holiday weekend a pattern of generally dry weather is likely to develop, with some sunshine across most parts, although western and northern areas may eventually see some unsettled and windier conditions later. After a cold start for many, day time temperatures are more likely to become warm again by the end of the weekend. Nights may be fairly cold, with some late frost likely. How long the settled weather continues is uncertain and there remains a chance of spells of wet, windy and cooler weather at times, especially in the west and north.

Monday 13 May - Monday 27 May

There is low confidence in the detail at the start of this period, with a chance of some changeable conditions at first, but by the middle of the month there are indications that more settled weather will begin to dominate. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with a risk of occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast, with the north and northwest probably seeing some cooler spells at times.

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 4 May - Monday 13 May

Cold, showery conditions will probably affect the east and far north on Saturday, with the showers likely to be wintry over northern hills. For the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend a pattern of generally dry weather is likely to develop, with a fair amount of sunshine across most parts, although western and northern areas may eventually see some more changeable and windier conditions later. After cold starts for many, daytime temperatures are more likely to become warmer again through the weekend. Nights will be fairly cold, with frosts likely. How long the settled weather continues is uncertain but it looks as if some changeable spells are likely into the following week, although confidence is very low. Temperatures will probably vary around normal for the time of year.

Tuesday 14 May - Tuesday 28 May

There is low confidence in developments for this period. There is a chance of some changeable conditions at first, but by the middle of the month there are indications that more settled weather may begin to dominate. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with a risk of occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast, with the north and northwest probably seeing some cooler spells at times.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 5 May - Tuesday 14 May

For the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend a pattern of generally dry weather is likely to develop, with a fair amount of sunshine across most parts. However, far western areas may eventually see some more changeable and windier conditions by Monday. After cold starts for many, daytime temperatures are more likely to become warmer again through the weekend, particularly in the sunshine and light winds. Nights will be fairly cold, with patchy frosts likely in prone areas. How long the settled weather continues is uncertain but it looks as if some changeable spells are likely into the following week, although confidence is very low. Temperatures will probably vary around normal for the time of year.

Wednesday 15 May - Wednesday 29 May

There is low confidence in developments for this period. There is a chance of some changeable conditions at first, but by the middle of the month there are indications that more settled weather may begin to dominate. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with a risk of occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast, with the north and northwest probably seeing some cooler spells at times.

[Summer Sun]

Monday 6 May - Wednesday 15 May

After a cold start with a widespread frost, Bank Holiday Monday is likely to be dry for most places with sunny spells, although the odd shower is possible. There is a small chance that far western and northern areas may see more changeable and windier conditions. During the day it will be rather cold for many, although it should feel pleasant in the sunshine in any sheltered spots. Thereafter, a change to more unsettled conditions is likely, perhaps bringing spells of wet and windy weather across southern and central areas at times. Brighter conditions could hold on in the far north, but there is still some uncertainty for now. Temperatures will probably vary around normal for the time of year.

Thursday 16 May - Thursday 30 May

There is low confidence in developments for this period. There is a chance of some changeable conditions at first, but by the middle of the month there are indications that more settled weather could start to develop. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations.

[Azazel]

Yikes, that's a downgrade. Gonna write May off at this point.

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 7 May - Thursday 16 May

Cloudy skies will tend to increase from the southwest through Tuesday, with some outbreaks of rain. The rain may turn heavy in the southwest, with the risk of gales mainly in the south and southwest. However, some northern areas will stay in a brighter but showery regime, with a risk of thunder in the far north. It will be widely cold by day, with overnight frosts. Thereafter, changeable conditions will continue to dominate, with outbreaks of rain and perhaps windier spells at times. However, there could be a shift towards more settled conditions from the middle of the month. Although it may start rather cold, a return to more normal temperatures for the time of year is probable.

Friday 17 May - Friday 31 May

There is low confidence in developments for this period. However, for the middle of May there are indications that more settled weather could start to develop. This should bring periods of light winds and fine and dry weather, but with occasional interludes of cooler, wet and breezy weather. Temperatures will be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect some marked day to day regional variations.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 8 May - Friday 17 May

A change to wet and windy weather is expected by Wednesday. Heavy rain is likely across much of the UK at times, except perhaps in northern Scotland. There will be a risk of gales, particularly on western coasts and hills. As rain moves northwards, heavy and perhaps thundery showers are likely to form in the south. The wet and windy weather will probably continue into Thursday, Friday and perhaps Saturday. Temperatures will start on the low side of average in the north, but will gradually rise across the UK so that after the start of Wednesday, night frosts are unlikely. There may well be a shift towards drier, brighter and less windy weather from next Sunday onwards, which would probably bring higher temperatures.

Saturday 18 May - Saturday 1 June

During the second half of May there are indications that dry and settled weather may prevail, though this is far from certain. This would bring long periods of light winds combined with fine and dry weather. However, we can expect occasional interludes of cooler, wetter and breezier weather. Temperatures are expected to be near to the seasonal average but, as is usual for this time in Spring, we can expect marked day to day regional variations.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 9 May - Saturday 18 May

Unsettled weather prevails on Thursday, with some sunny spells but also occasional heavy, possibly thundery showers, these merging to give some longer spells of rain, particularly in the north. Fresh to strong winds will make it feel rather cold for many too. This unsettled theme will probably continue through Friday, and perhaps into Saturday. Temperatures will start below average for many, but recover closer to normal by the weekend. From Sunday onwards it looks likely that more settled conditions will gradually become established, especially for eastern areas, and with temperatures improving with any sunshine. West and northwestern areas are at greatest risk of having further rain at times, but there will be some drier interludes here too.

Sunday 19 May - Sunday 2 June

During the second half of May there are indications that dry and settled weather may prevail, though this is far from certain. This would bring longer periods of light winds combined with fine and dry weather, particularly across eastern areas. However, we can expect occasional interludes of cooler, wetter and breezier weather, with these most likely in western, and particularly northwestern parts. Temperatures are expected to be near to the seasonal average, but we can expect some marked day to day regional variations. By the start of June confidence is very low, but slowly changing weather patterns are most probable, giving spells of widely settled weather punctuated by episodes of more unsettled conditions.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast

[Summer Sun]

Friday 10 May - Sunday 19 May

The unsettled theme will probably continue on Friday, and perhaps into Saturday, with sunshine, showers and perhaps longer spells of rain which will be most likely across the south. The showers could be heavy at times, with the risk of hail and thunder. Temperatures will start below average for many, with overnight frost possible, but they will recover closer to normal by the end of the weekend. From Sunday onwards it looks likely that more settled conditions will gradually become established, especially for eastern areas, and with temperatures improving with any sunshine. West and northwestern areas are at greatest risk of having further rain and strong winds at times, but there will be some drier and more settled interludes here too.

Monday 20 May - Monday 3 June

During the start of this period there are indications that dry and settled weather may prevail, with high pressure to the east of the UK. This would bring longer periods of light winds combined with fine and dry weather, with temperatures near or above the seasonal average. This would be most likely across eastern areas, but we can expect occasional interludes of cooler, wetter and breezier weather, with these most likely in western and particularly northwestern parts. By the start of June confidence is very low, but slowly changing weather patterns are most probable, giving spells of widely settled weather punctuated by episodes of more unsettled conditions. Temperatures will mostly be around normal, but with an increasing likelihood of warm or very warm spells given the time of year.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 11 May - Monday 20 May

The start of the period will probably be unsettled, with cloud and rain clearing away from the southeast early on Saturday to leave a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers. Meanwhile, high pressure looks set to become established across the UK from Sunday and continuing to influence our weather into next week to bring plenty of fine, dry and settled conditions, with temperatures improving in the sunshine. However, there is the chance that some western and northwestern areas could see unsettled weather moving in from the Atlantic later in the period, with some spells of wet and windy weather. Temperatures on the whole are likely to be around the average for the time of year.

Tuesday 21 May - Tuesday 4 June

During the start of this period there are indications that dry and settled weather may prevail, with high pressure to the east of the UK. This would bring longer periods of light winds combined with fine and dry weather, with temperatures near or above the seasonal average. This would be most likely across eastern areas, but we can expect occasional interludes of cooler, wetter and breezier weather, with these most likely in western and particularly northwestern parts. By the start of June confidence is very low, but slowly changing weather patterns are most probable, giving spells of widely settled weather punctuated by episodes of more unsettled conditions. Temperatures will mostly be around normal, but with an increasing likelihood of warm or very warm spells given the time of year.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 12 May - Tuesday 21 May

Sunday will be largely dry with sunny spells, after a chilly start with a touch of rural frost. High pressure looks set to become established across the UK into next week, which will bring plenty of fine, dry and settled weather, with increasing amounts of sunshine. However, with clear skies overnight it will turn chilly with the risk of some widespread rural frosts. Meanwhile, frontal systems may try to push in from the Atlantic into the far north and northwest initially, then to other areas, with cloud, rain and stronger winds at times. Temperatures on the whole are likely to be around the average for time of year, but perhaps becoming warm or very warm for a time.

Wednesday 22 May - Wednesday 5 June

The unsettled conditions look set to continue during the first part of the period. Many southern areas most likely to see spells of rain and heavy showers, which will extend into northern areas at times, with stronger winds. Meanwhile, northern parts are more likely to see brighter, showery and cool conditions, away from any organised rain spreading from the south. Temperatures are likely to be on the cool side, especially in the rain. Confidence is very low as we go into early June, but a continuation of a similar pattern looks more probable, with spells of widely settled weather punctuated by spells of unsettled weather. Temperatures are likely to be around average, with increasing likelihood of warm or very warm spells in any settled weather given the time of year.

Big downgrade 2nd paragraph

That sounds absolutely horrific. If this comes off, a lot of long range forecasts can go in the bin.

The more i look at it the more horrid it sounds..

High lat blocking and low pressure across the south.

Nowhere  to be seen in winter.

Garbage climate.

Indeed.

It frustrates me beyond belief and I know there's nothing we can do about it short of towing the UK 1000 miles south or moving to the continent which probably frustrates me even more.

Perfect Winter synoptics appear in Summer and vice versa which results in an endless Autumnal climate. Last Summer and December 2010 were absolute exceptions to the rule and for all the fuss made of last summer, it ended in mid-July.

People say our climate is varied and interesting whereas I think it's the complete opposite. 99 percent dross.

[Don]

Going by that forecast, people had better make the most of any decent weather during the next two weeks!  However, as we all know, it's subject to change at this range.  Would be typical, though if we do start to see high latitude blocking appear as summer approaches!

[Summer Sun]

Monday 13 May - Wednesday 22 May

High pressure looks set to remain across the UK next week, which will bring plenty of fine, dry and settled weather, with increasing amounts of sunshine. However, with clear skies and light winds overnight it will turn quite chilly with the risk of some widespread rural frosts, also some isolated mist and fog patches are likely to form in places. Meanwhile, frontal systems may try to push in from the Atlantic into the far north and northwest initially, then to other areas, with cloud, rain and stronger winds at times. Temperatures on the whole are likely to be warmer than normal, with the chance of locally very warm conditions in the west and southwestern parts.

Thursday 23 May - Thursday 6 June

The unsettled conditions look set to continue during the first part of the period. Many southern areas most likely to see spells of rain and heavy showers, which will extend into northern areas at times, with stronger winds. Meanwhile, northern parts are more likely to see brighter, showery and cool conditions, away from any organised rain spreading from the south. Temperatures are likely to be on the cool side, especially in the rain. Confidence is very low as we go into early June, but a continuation of a similar pattern looks more probable, with spells of widely settled weather punctuated by spells of unsettled weather. Temperatures are likely to be around average, with increasing likelihood of warm or very warm spells in any settled weather given the time of year.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 14 May - Thursday 23 May

High pressure will dominate the weather across the UK into next week, which will give predominately fine, dry and settled weather with plenty of sunshine and light winds. However, with clear skies and light winds overnight it will turn chilly with the risk of patchy rural frost, also some isolated mist and fog patches. There are signs by the weekend and into the following week that conditions may turn more unsettled across the UK, with spells of rain or showers across all parts. Temperatures are likely to be above normal and locally rather warm in the north and west early in the period, before returning to near normal by the weekend and into the following week.

Friday 24 May - Friday 7 June

The unsettled conditions look set to continue during the first part of the period. Many southern areas most likely to see spells of rain and heavy showers, which will extend into northern areas at times, with stronger winds. Meanwhile, northern parts are more likely to see brighter, showery and cool conditions, away from any organised rain spreading from the south. Temperatures are likely to be on the cool side, especially in the rain.

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 15 May - Friday 24 May

After another chilly start, the fine, dry and warm weather will continue on Wednesday, though with more high cloud, particularly over the west. Rain will become increasingly likely in many parts of the UK from Thursday into Friday along with strengthening winds, particularly in the southwest. These winds will lower daytime temperatures below the seasonal average. The weather for next weekend looks likely to continue in the same unsettled vein, with showers or longer spells of rain for many. Daytime temperatures are expected to stay on the cool side in the south and east but frost is not likely here. The warmest and brightest weather is likely in the northwest and these settled conditions may become more widespread during next week.

Saturday 25 May - Saturday 8 June

The weather at the end of May and start of June is likely to include dry and bright spells punctuated by occasional wetter and windier spells. The most prevalent rain and showers will be across southern and central parts, and here winds may be strong at times. It could be rather cool in these unsettled periods and particularly cool near the English east coast. The best of the sunshine and dry weather as well as the highest temperatures will be in the north but prolonged settled and warm conditions will spread further south at times.
