I'm sorry. but this is a perfect example of why I've struggled to have the patience to follow many of the threads on here for quite a while now. The actual forecast is excellent in as much as it is detailed, with decent reasoning to back it up. However, the opening phrase - 'anything remotely resembling summer materialising in the immediate future' - immediately set me grinding my teeth. Even over the coming week we have temperatures for large parts of the country ranging between 18c and 22c, with light winds, and periods of sunshine. OK, rain, (mostly in the form of showers), is also present, but honestly, if that kind of synopsis isn't pretty indicative of a UK summer, then what is ? If it isn't 'remotely resembling summer', which of the other three seasons does this weather resemble ???

Maybe I'm getting old, but to my mind more and more posts on here seem to need to include at least one 'headline grabbing' phrase, and I for one would prefer it if they didn't !

Obviously some peoples perception of summer is wall to wall sunshine and 30c temps, maybe a simple geography lesson wouldn't go amiss for these people. Posted Image

Staying unsettled Sunshine & showers Issued: 0900hrs Wednesday 15th June 2011 Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling

Unsettled with sunshine and showers, some of them heavy

Low pressure dominates conditions during the week ahead. This is going to be bringing periods of rain and showers for most, together with strong winds at times too. The low will be spreading into the North Sea with the winds turning northwesterly later in the period, introducing cooler weather by the end of the forecast period.

Lots of showers Summer still on hold Issued: 0648 Monday 20th June 2011

Duty forecaster: John Ejdowski

A bit warmer later

The weather remains very unsettled across the United Kingdom for the upcoming week as low pressure dominates and produces plenty of showers for most areas. With less than normal sunshine, temperatures will be below normal for June with no sign of any real summery weather to come though it warms up a bit towards the end of the forecast period.

UK prospects for the period 18/06/2011 - 22/07/2011

Real summer seems as elusive as ever, the patterns under consideration are through the short and even medium term giving on firm indications of any respite in the rather unsettled weather. Atlantic, low pressure systems appear to be no respecter of the calendar, the immediate outlook appears to be indicating that all areas will be susceptible to showers or longer spells of rain, these rather unsettled periods being accompanied by rather fresh conditions as brisk winds at times. This being 'summer' as one would expect, it will be feeling rather warm in any lengthy sunnier and drier interludes between systems, but these are expected to be transitory in nature.

As we approach the turn of the month, there is some hope that summer will manifest itself as high pressure builds, but this may be grasping at straws as the anticyclone may be too far west to be long lasting, low pressure soon bringing an all too late return of rather unsettled weather as low pressure stalls over the UK, heavy thundery showers affecting all areas.

Even into the middle of July, high pressures seems to be quite happy to take up its quite comfortable middle or North Atlantic station, the outlooks therefore unhappily still points the finger toward generally cool and showery conditions.

*18/06/2011 -24/06/11*

Showers of longer spells of rain appear to be the characteristic pattern of weather for much of the immediate outlook, some of these heavy, thundery and blustery, soon passing through to bring some warm feeling sunshine between. Drier spells can be expected as transitory rises in pressure move across the UK, although further unsettled conditions are likely to never be too far away.

The Atlantic seems to have the upper hand at the moment with systems, quite active at times, bringing rather wet and windy weather to all areas there is at last some sign that these will be dying away for a while as pressure rises, I have my doubts though whether this will be long lasting, so make the most of it!

*24/06/2011 - 02/07/2011*

High pressure should be building here so showers should be dying away and with lengthier sunnier spells and lighter winds it will be feeling much warmer and akin to summer at last. High pressure may be transitory though and after an initial quite pleasant few days, where locally it may be quite warm unsettled weather will be approaching from off the Atlantic.

*03/07/2011 - 10/07/2011*

Don't blink because that may have been summer for the time being? High pressure and its associated pleasant conditions look as though they'll be shunted out the way by a developing westerly breeze, the Atlantic once more becoming quite an influence. It'll be feeling cooler and fresher everywhere as showers begin to feed in on the breeze, these most concentrated across the west and northwest, drier and brighter to the south and east.

Low pressure approaching from the west, which may be quite active looks set to advance into western Britain, the slow down and stall as it begins to lose momentum, to sit atop the UK, showers becoming widespread and potentially heavy for a time, before gradually declining and becoming more scattered.

This drier slot may be temporary though as one stagnating low pressure systems moves away, this improvement too may be displaced by yet another approaching and eventually slowing low, a continued threat thereafter of showers or longer spells of rain and intermittent drier and brighter slots.

*10/07/2011 - 17/07/2011*

The flow looks as if it'll become mainly westerly in nature, with low pressure somewhat further to the northwest, showers still affecting the stand northwest, a tendency for drier weather to the south and east where they'll be a greater anticyclonic influence. Feeling somewhat warmer areas across southern Britain but noticeably cooler for the north and northwest in the showery conditions.

*18/07/2011 - 22/07/2011*

At long last there is the sign that high pressure will be building across the UK, the westerly flow weakening and the showery activity dying away through the period, lengthening sunny spells and as the high drifts slowly eastward a developing southerly will feed much warmer continental air into all areas.

A hot weekend? Rain in north

Issued: 0900hrs Tuesday 21st June 2011 Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling

Temperatures on the rise with most rain in the north

The weather looks set to become warmer for a time next week, possibly even hot by Sunday. There will be plenty of dry weather around, with most of any rainfall affecting more northern and western parts of the country.

Briefly hotter More unsettled next week Issued: 0900hrs Wednesday 22nd June 2011

Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling

A brief hot spell, but then more unsettled next week

A brief spell of hot weather through the coming weekend, but do not get too excited because it is likely not to last. Lower confidence in the forecast into next week, but it is likely that low pressure will be in control again, although focused to the north with little rain to the far south.

Becoming more unsettled

Rain or showers for all Issued: 0900hrs Sunday 3rd July 2011 Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling

A more unsettled look to the weather picture for the coming week as low pressure takes control of the weather for a while. This is likely to be bringing more unsettled conditions for a time, most rainfall to the north and west. It is likely to be feeling cooler too.

Valid from 02/07 to 29/07 2011

Better later Issued: Saturday 2nd July 2011 Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling & Captain Bob

UK prospects for the period 02/07/2011 - 05/08/2011

I hope that everyone has made the most of and enjoyed the recent rather pleasant and somewhat more settled conditions that we've seen lately as changes are afoot and perhaps not for the better I may add? Any residual influences of high pressure look as though they are going to be swept away by the dominance of Atlantic low pressure that will turn all areas unsettled and at times quite breezy for the time of year and feeling quite cool. Any drier and brighter intervals are looking to be quite transitory and not to be relied upon, not what one would expect for mid-summer perhaps?

If you do have a 'bucket and spade' at the ready then the best chance that I can see for 'beach weather' is during the third week of the month when high pressure builds, it settles and warms, this hanging on through to the end of the month, but is eroded into a gentle westerly flow from the north, the south remaining mainly influenced by weak high pressure for a while longer.

Changeable throughout

Rain early & later

A mixed spell of weather in the days ahead. It will begin unsettled with showers or rain at times. Conditions then improve through the weekend and early next week, before possibly turning more unsettled later in the forecast period.
