Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Friday 26 Jul - Sunday 4 Aug

Overnight rain and thunderstorms will clear eastwards on Friday, to sunny spells and occasional showers. The showers will mainly be in the west, with a low risk of thunderstorms, and they will introduce fresher conditions. It will be breezy in the north, with further cloud and rain from the southwest later. Into the weekend, confidence falls low, but fresher conditions will be the most probable. 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 drier weather, and here it could still be warm into the start of August.

Monday 5 Aug - Monday 19 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.

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 27 Jul - Monday 5 Aug

Low confidence in the forecast for the weekend, with uncertainty in regard to the track and development of an area of low pressure southwest of the UK. This may bring a spell of wet and windy weather northeastwards across the UK during Saturday and Sunday. However, it should stay largely dry in the east and southeast. It will remain very warm in the southeast, with some localised heavy rain or thunderstorms possible. Into next week and we are likely to see a northwest/southeast split in the weather across the UK, with further showers or longer spells of rain affecting northwestern parts, with a better chance of drier and warmer weather in the south and east. Temperatures will generally be above the average for the time of year.

Tuesday 6 Aug - Tuesday 20 Aug

As we move further into 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 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, especially in western and southern areas. However, confidence falls as we head into late August.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 28 Jul - Tuesday 6 Aug

On Sunday spells of heavy and possibly thundery rain may affect Scotland and the far east and northeast of England, especially during the morning. Elsewhere sunny spells and scattered showers, but with some central and southeastern parts staying dry. At the start of next week there'll most probably be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells, with showers most likely in the west and southwest where there may be some longer spells of rain at times. During the first week of August wet and occasionally windy weather is expected to mainly affect the northwest, with a better chance of drier and warmer weather in the south and east. Temperatures will generally be above the average, and possibly hot at times in the southeast.

Wednesday 7 Aug - Wednesday 21 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. Whilst the north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather at first, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast, by the third week of August it looks as though settled weather may develop more widely for a time. However, there is also an increasing risk of showers or thunderstorms developing in the south. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially so in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

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

[Summer Sun]

Monday 29 Jul - Wednesday 7 Aug

Further isolated showers and thunderstorms across eastern parts of the UK during Monday, although these will tend to ease. Elsewhere, it will be mostly dry with sunny spells. Still warm, especially in the east, but temperatures will be closer to average elsewhere. The rest of the period looks likely to see a northwest/southeast split in the weather across the UK. This will give outbreaks of rain, possibly heavy, and strong winds at times across northwestern parts, with the south and especially the southeast, likely to remain warm or very warm, with the risk of some showers, but mostly dry with sunny spells. If we get a feed of air from the south, then localised heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible, and potentially hot conditions, especially across the south and southeast.

Thursday 8 Aug - Thursday 22 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. Whilst the north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather at first, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast, by the third week of August it looks as though settled weather may develop more widely for a time. However, there is also an increasing risk of showers or thunderstorms developing in the south, especially during the second half of the month. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 30 Jul - Thursday 8 Aug

Outbreaks of rain and showers are likely in western and northern parts of the UK on Tuesday with brisk winds, but drier and brighter weather is expected in the east. The rest of the period looks likely to see a northwest/southeast split in the weather across the UK. This will give outbreaks of rain, possibly heavy, and strong winds at times across northwestern parts, with the south and especially the southeast, likely to remain warm or very warm, with the risk of some showers, but mostly dry with sunny spells. If we get a feed of air from the south, then localised heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible, and potentially hot conditions, especially across the south and southeast.

Friday 9 Aug - Friday 23 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. Whilst the north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather at first, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast, by the third week of August it looks as though settled weather may develop more widely for a time. However, there is also an increasing risk of showers or thunderstorms developing in the south, especially during the second half of the month. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 31 Jul - Friday 9 Aug

There is higher than normal uncertainty in the forecast throughout this period. Through Wednesday and Thursday, the most likely weather scenario is for low pressure to be centred to the west of the UK. This would bring rain or showers across the country, particularly across more western areas. The driest and brightest weather is expected across southeastern parts. Temperatures will generally be close to normal, although perhaps a little below average in the west. Confidence remains low thereafter, but it is most likely that low pressure will be centred to the northwest of the UK giving rise to showers or longer spells of rain here. With higher pressure towards the southeast, there is a better chance of drier and brighter weather and warmer temperatures as a result.

Saturday 10 Aug - Saturday 24 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. Whilst the north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather at first, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast, by the third week of August it looks as though settled weather is slightly more probable. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

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

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 1 Aug - Saturday 10 Aug

There is higher than normal uncertainty in the forecast throughout this period. On Thursday there are likely to be sunny spells and some showers, but many areas may remain dry. By Friday it should be dry with bright spells for most, weather fronts may spread from the west later, bringing an increasing risk of rain and showers for the first Saturday of August. It will still feel warm and humid at times, with generally light winds. Confidence remains low thereafter, but it is most likely that lower pressure will tend to dominate at first, bringing a risk of showery rain, especially in the west and northwest, however there may also be some spells of more generally settled weather, particularly towards the end of this period.

Sunday 11 Aug - Sunday 25 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. The north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

[MIKE LEVITT]

in other words for all the modern forecasting equipment,the met office and other weather companies have no real idea what the weather will be like longer than a week.

[Summer Sun]

Friday 2 Aug - Sunday 11 Aug

Friday will see a chance of showers for most areas, but there will probably be a good deal of dry and sunny weather too across the UK. Into next weekend we are then most likely going to see a northwest-southeast split develop, with the wettest and windiest weather in the northwest. The best of the drier weather will be towards the southeast, where it will also remain warm. The rest of the period is likely to see low pressure close by, but confidence is low throughout this period. The wettest weather will be in the west, with rain most likely in the form of showers. Temperatures are likely to be close to or just above average, perhaps more especially across the south and southeast.

Monday 12 Aug - Monday 26 Aug

As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. The north and northwest may see some spells of unsettled weather, with the best of the drier weather across the southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above average, perhaps more especially in the south and southeast where hot weather on the near continent may spread in at times.

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 3 Aug - Monday 12 Aug

Saturday will see a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, possibly thundery across parts of Scotland and northern England. Elsewhere, it should be mostly dry with warm sunny spells. Into next week, low pressure looks likely to be located just to the west of the UK, which would bring a west to southwesterly across the majority of the UK, with the potential for a south to southeasterly flow across the far north of the country. This pattern would bring occasional spells of rain, which could be heavy at times, especially across western parts, with daytime showers breaking out elsewhere. Temperatures will mostly be above average, with warm or very warm conditions possible across the south.

Tuesday 13 Aug - Tuesday 27 Aug

Into the second week of August and there is now a strong signal for unsettled conditions to prevail, with low pressure likely either close to or just to the west of the UK. This pattern would bring a predominately south to southwesterly airflow, which would generally lead to above average temperatures and rainfall. During the second half of August, low pressure looks set to be situated to the northeast of the UK, with perhaps higher pressure towards the southwest of the country. This pattern would lead to a cooler and showery west to northwesterly flow across the UK, with the wettest conditions in the north and west. The signal for higher pressure to be towards the far southwest may lead to possibly drier and slightly warmer conditions at times here.

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

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 4 Aug - Tuesday 13 Aug

On Sunday early outbreaks of rain in the west will turn more showery and spread erratically eastwards through the day, with some heavy and thundery showers by the afternoon. Breezy in the west, with temperatures generally near normal. Through the following week, low pressure is likely to be located just to the west of the UK. This would bring west to southwesterly winds across the majority of the UK, but with the potential for a south to southeasterly flow across the far north of the country. This pattern would bring occasional spells of rain, which could be heavy at times, into western parts, with daytime showers breaking out more generally elsewhere. Temperatures will mostly be above average, with warm or very warm conditions possible across the south.

Wednesday 14 Aug - Wednesday 28 Aug

Although confidence is low throughout this period, the middle of August will probably start with unsettled conditions, with low pressure likely to be centred just to the west of the UK. This pattern would bring a predominately south to southwesterly airflow, which as well as bringing periods of showers or longer spells of rain, would generally lead to above average temperatures. Into the second half of August, low pressure will probably move to lie the northeast of the UK, with perhaps higher pressure towards the southwest of the country. This pattern would lead to a cooler and showery west to northwesterly flow, with the wettest conditions in the north and west, although the far southwest may have some drier and slightly warmer weather at times.

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

[Summer Sun]

Monday 5 Aug - Wednesday 14 Aug

Bands of rain and showers are likely to move northeastwards across the UK during Monday, with heaviest rain towards the northwest. The south is likely to see the driest and brightest weather, but more persistent rain may reach the southwest later Monday and into Tuesday. Through the rest of the week, low pressure is likely to be located just to the west of the UK. This would bring west to southwesterly winds across the majority of the UK. This pattern would bring occasional spells of rain, which could be heavy at times, into western parts, with daytime showers breaking out more generally elsewhere. Temperatures will mostly be around average, but if winds become more southerly at times then some warm or very warm weather may develop across the south.

Thursday 15 Aug - Thursday 29 Aug

Although confidence is low throughout this period, the middle of August will probably start with unsettled conditions, with low pressure likely to be centred just to the west of the UK. This pattern would bring a predominately south to southwesterly airflow, which as well as bringing periods of showers or longer spells of rain, would generally lead to above average temperatures. Into the second half of August, low pressure will probably move to lie the northeast of the UK, with perhaps higher pressure towards the southwest of the country. This pattern would lead to a cooler and showery west to northwesterly flow, with the wettest conditions in the north and west, although the far southwest may have some drier and slightly warmer weather at times.

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

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 6 Aug - Thursday 15 Aug

Bands of rain and showers across western and northern areas are likely to move northeastwards during Tuesday, heavy in places and with the risk of thunder. The southeast is likely to see the driest and brightest weather, and it will be warm here. Through the rest of the week, low pressure is likely to drift east across the UK maintaining showery conditions. Occasional spells of rain, which could be heavy in places, will move east at times, with daytime showers breaking out more generally elsewhere. Similar conditions are forecast to persist through to mid-month with any drier spells relatively short-lived. Temperatures will mostly be around average, but if winds become more southerly at times then some warm or very warm weather may develop across the south.

Thursday 15 Aug - Thursday 29 Aug

Although confidence is low throughout this period, the middle of August will probably start with unsettled conditions, with low pressure likely to be centred just to the west of the UK. This pattern would bring a predominately south to southwesterly airflow, which as well as bringing periods of showers or longer spells of rain, would generally lead to above average temperatures. Into the second half of August, low pressure will probably move to lie the northeast of the UK, with perhaps higher pressure towards the southwest of the country. This pattern would lead to a cooler and showery west to northwesterly flow, with the wettest conditions in the north and west, although the far southwest may have some drier and slightly warmer weather at times.

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 7 Aug - Friday 16 Aug

Scattered showers are likely on Wednesday, turning heavy and thundery in places. Showers are likely to be slow moving in central and northern areas, but will sweep through in the south with brisk winds. Sunshine and scattered showers will develop again on Thursday and Friday, but these should be less intense than earlier in the week. There is a chance that cloud and rain could reach the far southwest later on Friday. Unsettled conditions will probably persist through to mid-month with further scattered heavy showers, perhaps thundery in places. Any drier spells are likely to be relatively short-lived. Temperatures will mostly be around average, but brief warm or very warm weather may develop across the south at times.

Saturday 17 Aug - Saturday 31 Aug

Although confidence is low throughout this period, the middle of August will probably start with unsettled conditions as low pressure dominates. Scattered heavy showers or longer spells of rain are likely, with some drier and brighter interludes in between. Later in the month, there are signs that high pressure could build into southern parts of the UK, perhaps bringing drier and more settled conditions here. However, spells of rain and showers are still likely in the north and west. Temperatures are likely to be around normal for the time of year, although there is a chance of some warmer interludes at times, particularly in the south and perhaps more widely later in the month.

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 8 Aug - Saturday 17 Aug

Thursday will see a mixture sunshine and showers, heavy and possibly thundery at times, especially across northern parts of the UK. Friday will be largely dry with warm sunny spells, but still a few showers possible. Later on Friday, we will probably see rain and strong winds arriving into the southwest, gradually spreading north-eastwards, which will be followed by heavy showers and humid conditions by the weekend. Into the following week an area of low pressure stays close to the UK, which is likely to maintain the unsettled conditions, with further spells of rain followed by scattered heavy and possibly thundery showers, with brief drier interludes. Temperatures will mostly be around average, but brief warm or very warm weather may develop across the south and southeast at times.

Sunday 18 Aug - Sunday 1 Sep

Although confidence is low throughout this period, we will probably start with unsettled conditions as low pressure dominates. Scattered heavy showers or longer spells of rain are likely, with some drier and brighter interludes in between.

Yep. As per normal (last 10 years or so).

[Summer Sun]

Friday 9 Aug - Sunday 18 Aug

After a sunny start to Friday, showers will develop. Outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain and strong winds will then arrive into the southwest. The band of rain will gradually spread northeastwards, and will be followed by warm, humid conditions and heavy showers as we head into the weekend. For the following week, an area of low pressure will stay close to the UK. This is likely to maintain the unsettled conditions, with further spells of rain followed by scattered heavy and possibly thundery showers. It will be windier than the earlier in the week, with a risk of coastal gales, but there will be some brief drier interludes. Temperatures will mostly be around average, but brief warm or very warm weather may develop across the south and southeast at times.

Indeed, average and brief warm spells is now average to cool.

And extended has gone from warmer interludes (perhaps widely) to temps fluctuating but normal.

Not good(if correct) for those looking for late summer heat or v warm conditions, by the end its autumn anyway(1st Sep)
