Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Friday 6 Dec 2013 to Friday 20 Dec 2013:

Current indications are that high pressure is likely to continue to influence the weather over southern and eastern parts, which would bring generally settled and dry conditions here. With this there is an increased risk of fog or freezing fog patches that may be slow to clear in places. In terms of temperatures, it is likely to remain on the colder side of normal. Across northern and western areas there are some indications that the weather may be a little more unsettled. This would bring wetter, windier and milder conditions here.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 26 Nov 2013 to Thursday 5 Dec 2013:

A band of light rain will move southeast over the UK on Tuesday, clearing on Wednesday morning. Thereafter, there will generally be a good deal of dry weather with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny spells by day. Some fog or freezing fog patches are possible by night, and these could be slow to clear. It will stay cold, particularly so in the south, with overnight frosts, especially in rural areas. It is likely the far north will see more unsettled conditions at times, with strong winds and outbreaks of rain. There are signs that the more unsettled, milder and windier weather may then affect most parts for a time later in the period, but confidence of this is currently low.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 27 Nov 2013 to Friday 6 Dec 2013:

A band of rain will move south across eastern parts on Wednesday. Otherwise mainly cloudy on Wednesday and Thursday, with the best of any breaks in the east, but strong winds and persistent rain may continue to affect the far north. Thereafter, a good deal of dry and settled weather is likely at first, especially in the south, with some sunny/clear spells but also the risk of nighttime frosts and fog. More unsettled conditions are likely to move across Scotland, with stronger winds, rain and hill snow. These unsettled conditions are expected to transfer southwards affecting most parts by early December. There is a low risk than some colder conditions may spread across the UK for a time as we move into December, but temperatures are most likely near normal.

UK Outlook for Saturday 7 Dec 2013 to Saturday 21 Dec 2013:

Current indications are that high pressure is likely to remain close to the southwest of the UK, and may continue to influence the weather across southern parts into mid December. Otherwise a return to more normal conditions for early winter is most likely. This will lead to the wettest and windiest conditions across the north and west of the UK, and the best of the drier and brighter conditions further south. There are indications that temperatures may remain a little below normal for the time of year.

UK Outlook for Monday 9 Dec 2013 to Monday 23 Dec 2013:

Latest indications show that high pressure is likely to remain close to the southwest of the UK, for a time, and may continue to give more settled periods of weather across southern parts into mid December. Otherwise a return to more normal conditions for early winter is most likely. This will lead to the wettest and windiest conditions across the north of the UK, and the best of the drier and brighter conditions further south. There are indications that temperatures may remain a little below average for the time of year.

UK Outlook for Friday 29 Nov 2013 to Sunday 8 Dec 2013:

Strong winds and rain across Scotland will spread southeast through Friday, with colder air and blustery showers following, some of which will be wintry in the north. Through the weekend, most areas will remain dry with variable cloud and sunny spells by day, and frost and fog by night. However, further rain, strong winds and milder temperatures will push into the northwest. Thereafter, generally unsettled in the north and northwest with the best of the drier and brighter weather remaining in the south and southwest, although even here the unsettled conditions are likely to extend south to affect the area at times. There is a low risk that colder conditions may spread across the UK for a time as we move into December, but temperatures are most likely near normal.

UK Outlook for Saturday 30 Nov 2013 to Monday 9 Dec 2013:

Through the weekend, many places will be dry with variable cloud and sunny spells by day, and frost patches by night. However, a few blustery showers are likely for some coastal areas exposed to the north on Saturday. Into next week, it will turn generally cloudier, southern Britain staying mainly dry, but more changeable weather in the north. These more unsettled conditions may then spread south around mid-week. Rather cold in the south at first next week, but turning milder from the north with temperatures rising nearer normal. Later in this period, there is a chance that colder conditions may return south across the UK, with more wintry weather for some, and a risk of gales, especially towards the north.

UK Outlook for Sunday 1 Dec 2013 to Tuesday 10 Dec 2013:

Cold to start in the southeast on Sunday, but cloudy elsewhere with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, especially in the north and east.

Into next week, it should be generally cloudy, with southern Britain staying mainly dry, but more changeable weather expected in the north. These more unsettled conditions may then spread south through the week. Temperatures should be around normal for the time of year, but it is set to turn colder in the north.

Isn't this the 16 - 30 day update and not the further outlook?

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Monday 2 Dec 2013 to Wednesday 11 Dec 2013:

Mostly cloudy and generally dry for most of the UK on Monday with light winds, but outbreaks of light rain and brisk winds likely to reach the northwest later in the day. Into the middle of the week, it will remain generally cloudy, with southern Britain staying mainly dry, but more changeable weather in the north. These more unsettled conditions may then spread south through the week. Temperatures should be around normal for the time of year in the south, but it is set to turn colder from the north. Later in this period, there is a chance that the colder conditions may spread south across the UK, with more wintry weather and a risk of gales, especially towards the north.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 3 Dec 2013 to Thursday 12 Dec 2013:

Mostly cloudy and generally dry for most of the UK on Tuesday with light winds, but outbreaks of light rain and strengthening winds in the northwest will move slowly southeast through the day, with scattered showers following in the northwest. Through to next weekend southern Britain will remain generally cloudy but dry, with colder, more changeable weather in the north spreading slowly south. Temperatures initially around normal for the time of year in the south, but it is set to turn colder from the north. Later in this period, the cold weather will gradually give way, first in the north, but finally in the south with milder westerly winds and unsettled weather reaching the north later. The south will probably remain more settled.

UK Outlook for Saturday 14 Dec 2013 to Saturday 28 Dec 2013:

There are signs that the period will start generally settled, with temperatures near average for the time of year. However, there are indications that later in December a change to more unsettled weather may develop, particularly towards the north and northwest of the UK. This would mean that the best of any drier and brighter conditions would be further south and southeast. Temperatures look to remain around normal.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 4 Dec 2013 to Friday 13 Dec 2013:

Much of England and Wales will be cloudy on Wednesday, with occasional rain clearing southwards. Further north, a mixture of bright spells and showers is most likely, especially in the north and northwest, with sheltered eastern parts mostly dry. Some of the showers may be wintry over hills, and it will be windy. More persistent rain will spread southwards during Thursday with further showers following from the northwest. These showers may be wintry in the south with snow possible from northern England northwards. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little below normal at first, but it may turn colder from the north on Thursday and feel colder still in the wind. Thereafter, it should gradually become more settled from the southwest with temperatures slowly recovering to nearer normal.

Obviously a long way off but this forecast to me does not bode well for the start of January at least.
