UK long range weather forecast
High pressure will lie close to the south of the UK initially, with generally settled conditions prevailing across the south. Cloud amounts will be variable but often large, with some fog developing under clearer spells, this slow to clear. Frontal systems may affect the northwest of the UK at times, bringing some rain and windier conditions here. High pressure and associated settled conditions may extend further north for a time, before low pressure seems likely to increasingly influence the UK weather late in the period, with some rain and windier conditions extending to most parts. Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, especially in the north, though the south and east may have some rather cold starts under clearer skies and lighter winds.
Updated:
A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely to produce an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the potential for brief cold northerly spells with associated frost, ice and snow remains, following any deep lows crossing the region.
