Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 8 Feb - Monday 17 Feb

Becoming more unsettled on Saturday, with rain spreading eastwards and reaching most areas through the day.

Further ahead, unsettled conditions are expected to dominate; generally windy with spells of rain at times, interspersed with brighter but showery interludes. The heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected in the west and northwest with the best of any drier and brighter conditions in the south and southeast. Any colder interludes carry the risk of frost or wintry showers on high ground in the north, however these are expected to be short-lived.

Yes - it just shows how poor it has been, to think even in the mid naughties that update would have classed as poor, yet this year it is good, Last year of course these updates were excellent for months but never verified.

I agree ref mid noughties and even at this point last year, the updates were still producing a promising outlook.  However, I think by this stage most of us had given up on them!  That said, this winter really is up there with the worst of them, that's for sure!
