Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 9 July - Thursday 18 July

This period will start with predominately dry and fine weather in the south, and less settled weathr in the north, with outbreaks of rain at times and breezier conditions. By Wednesday or Thursday it is likely to become less settled everywhere across the UK, with outbreaks of rain likely. Temperatures will be near the average for the time of year, but it will be locally warm in the south at first. Towards the middle of July, it looks as though high pressure will build to the south of the UK, but with low pressure to the north. This will likely allow further outbreaks of rain or showers, with the heaviest and most frequent showers in the north.

Friday 19 July - Friday 2 August

There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast through the second half of July, with a continued signal for lower than average pressure to be more likely across the north and higher pressure to the south. This may lead to spells of rain for all, but this heaviest and most persistent in the NW where above average rainfall is possible.

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 10 July - Friday 19 July

It will be a slightly more unsettled period than of late, with a mixture of bright or sunny spells and outbreaks of rain or showers, possibly heavy at times, especially in the northwest. Towards the middle of the month, it looks as though high pressure is likely to build to the south of the UK, but with low pressure to the north. This will likely give further outbreaks of rain or showers, with the heaviest and most frequent showers in the north. Meanwhile, much of the south should see largely dry conditions. Temperatures will be near the average for the time of year, but it will be locally warm in the south, especially at first.

Saturday 20 July - Saturday 3 August 

There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast through the second half of July, with a continued signal for lower than average pressure to be more likely across the north and higher pressure to the south. This may lead to spells of rain for all, but this heaviest and most persistent in the NW where above average rainfall is possible.

Classic British summer pattern longer term with wetter to the North and drier in the south.

 

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 11 July - Saturday 20 July

After a largely settled start to July, the beginning of this period will be more unsettled, with showers or longer outbreaks of rain. It will be warm and humid too with the potential for the rain to be heavy at times. As we move into the weekend, it is likely to turn more settled again and slightly fresher, with plenty of dry and sunny weather. These settled conditions should last into the following week although there is a lot of uncertainty in how long this will last, with the potential for further changeable weather to push in from the Atlantic at times. On the whole, temperatures are likely to be slightly warmer than average overall, especially during settled weather.

Sunday 21 July - Sunday 4 August

There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast during the second half of July, with the potential for conditions to continue to slowly turn more unsettled through the middle of the month, although still with some drier spells possible. Later in July, the unsettled weather may tend to be focused across the northwest, with southeastern areas turning more settled again. Overall, temperatures are most likely to remain slightly above average, which carries higher confidence.

[Summer Sun]

Friday 12 July - Sunday 21 July

On Friday many places will start dry and bright. However, cloud will soon develop with further slow-moving, heavy and thundery showers breaking out quite widely across UK. Temperatures near normal for the time of year, although in longer spells of sunshine it will feel warm and humid. As we move into the weekend, it is likely to turn more settled again and slightly fresher, with increasing amounts of dry and sunny weather. These settled conditions should last into the following week although there is a lot of uncertainty in how long this will last, with the potential for further changeable weather to push in from the Atlantic at times. On the whole, temperatures are likely to be slightly warmer than average overall, especially during settled weather.

Monday 22 July - Monday 5 August

There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast during the second half of July, with the potential for conditions to continue to slowly turn more unsettled through the middle of the month, although still with some drier spells possible. Later in July, the unsettled weather may tend to be focused across the northwest, with southeastern areas turning more settled again. Overall, temperatures are most likely to remain slightly above average, which carries higher confidence.

That's a holding forecast while they decide what they are going to do, its out of date really.

 

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 13 July - Monday 22 July

Both Saturday and Sunday should start dry and bright, but a few showers will develop during the day, especially across central and eastern areas. Monday should be a dry day for most, with bright or sunny spells. Temperatures will be near normal, but locally warm in the sunnier parts of the south and southwest. Through the following week, the settled and largely dry weather is likely to continue, particularly across the south and southeast, but Atlantic weather systems may bring some wetter and windier conditions across the UK at times, although timings of these periods of more changeable weather is very uncertain. Temperatures are likely to be slightly warmer than average overall, especially during spells of settled weather.

Tuesday 23 July - Tuesday 6 August

The last week of July is likely to see some more changeable weather conditions at times as Atlantic weather systems push across the UK at times, dispelling the high pressure. There will still be some drier and brighter interludes, especially across the south and southeast, but even here there is likely to be some rain, especially at first. Through the first week of August the wettest and windiest conditions may become increasingly confined to the northwest, with southeastern parts seeing more in the way of settled weather, but there is still a great deal of uncertainty in the forecast. Overall, temperatures are most likely to remain slightly above average.

A band of showery rain will move east across the UK on Thursday, probably clearing into the North Sea through the afternoon. Brighter and fresher conditions with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers following, mainly in the north and west. By the weekend into the following week, conditions will probably stay changeable and breezy at times, with showers or longer spells of rain but also brighter and drier spells. It may tend to become generally drier and brighter, more especially in the south and southeast, with the more changeable conditions persisting across northwestern parts of the UK.

Friday 19 July - Sunday 28 July

Probably turning more widely unsettled on Friday, with rain and stronger winds moving northeast across the UK. The heaviest rain will most likely be across southern and western parts, although there is some uncertainty in the forecast at this stage. Into the weekend and the following week, conditions will probably stay changeable and breezy at times, with showers or longer spells of rain but also some brighter and drier spells. It may become generally drier and brighter, more especially in the south and southeast, with the more changeable conditions persisting across northwestern parts of the UK. Temperatures will generally be near normal, but warm at times, mainly in the south and east. Perhaps a very warm and humid interlude in the southeast.

Saturday 20 July - Monday 29 July 

It will be unsettled this coming weekend, with rain clearing the northeast on Saturday. The rain will be followed by sunny spells and scattered, heavy showers, with the risk of thunderstorms.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 21 July - Tuesday 30 July

Sunday will bring a mixture of sunshine and showers across northern Britain, with largely dry conditions to close out the weekend in the south. Into the start of next week, low pressure is most likely to be close to northwest Britain, bringing stronger winds and occasionally heavy rain. Further southeast, it should be mostly dry with the potential to tap into very warm air drifting north out of Europe. Towards midweek, the wetter and somewhat cooler weather in the northwest looks to push further southeast, displacing the warmth and sunshine here. By the end of the month, a more widely changeable pattern looks most likely, with the wettest weather most likely further to the northwest, and sunshine more prevalent in the southeast.

Wednesday 1 August - Wednesday 14 August 

As we move into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. As is often the case in summer, this could well mean plenty of fine, dry weather, interspersed with occasional thundery outbreaks, leading to marked local variations in rainfall. Temperatures are likely to pan out above average, perhaps more especially in the south and west.

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

[Summer Sun]

Monday 22 Jul - Wednesday 31 Jul

This period will likely see a northwest to southeast split in the weather across the UK with northwestern parts experiencing spells of rain, which could be heavy at times, as well as some periods of strong wind bringing a risk of coastal gales. By contrast, the southern and southeastern parts of the UK should see much drier and warmer weather, which could become hot and rather humid at times, especially early to mid next week. The south and southeast will not be without rain but it will be less frequent than in the northwest. The weather signals become more mixed as we head towards the end of July, but the northwest to southeast split in the weather will most probably continue through this period.

Thursday 1 Aug - Thursday 15 Aug

Tuesday 23 Jul - Thursday 1 Aug

This period will tend to see a northwest to southeast split in the weather across the UK, with northwestern parts experiencing spells of rain, which could be heavy at times, as well as some periods of strong wind bringing a risk of coastal gales. By contrast, southern and southeastern parts of the UK should see much drier and warmer weather, which could be hot and rather humid at times, especially early to mid next week. Potential for thunderstorms to develop as any hot, settled weather breaks down from the west. Beyond that, the signals become more mixed although overall the northwest to southeast split will most probably continue. The south and southeast is likely to see some rain but it will be less frequent than in the northwest.

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 25 Jul - Saturday 3 Aug

A cold front is likely to make some progress eastwards across the UK on Thursday, with the potential for heavy showers and thunderstorms. Some hot or very hot conditions may persist in the east ahead of this, especially in the southeast. Into the weekend, confidence falls low, but following the cold front, fresher conditions will be the most likely. It will be mostly sunny, with a scattering of showers. A northwest to southeast split will be the most likely scenario. The northwest is likely to see further spells of rain and strong winds at times, with temperatures near or a little below average. The south and southeast are likely to see localised heavy rain, with thunderstorms possible, but it will stay warm or very warm into the start of August.

Sunday 4 Aug - Sunday 18 Aug

As we move into early August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. It is most likely that low pressure to the north and northwest of the UK will give further rise to showers or longer spells of rain in the northwest, with the better chance of drier weather in the southeast. Temperatures will likely be above average, perhaps mostly in western and southern areas. However, confidence falls as we head through August.
