Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 14 Dec - Monday 23 Dec

Staying unsettled throughout Saturday with blustery showers and spells of rain. Some drier or brighter interludes may develop in the southeast. Staying windy, particularly in the south, where there is a risk of coastal gales. Temperatures near average, but turning colder further north. The changeable theme looks to continue over the next few weeks with showers or spells of rain throughout. Any drier interludes are likely to be short-lived in any one place. Temperatures look likely to fall below average, with the risk of wintry showers in the north alongside a low risk of snow along northern edges of rain bands. Some possible frost and freezing fog at times, mainly across northern regions. Strong winds and a risk of coastal gales throughout the period.

Monday 23 Dec - Monday 6 Jan

A more changeable spell is expected towards the end of December, with the greatest potential for heavy rain in the south and east at first, with any snow becoming confined to northern hills. A more typical northwest/southeast split looks likely to develop into the New Year, bringing rain to the northwest interspersed with showers, and drier periods further south. This could be accompanied by a general upturn in temperatures, as well as the risk of strong winds at times.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 15 Dec - Tuesday 24 Dec

Sunday looks likely to be unsettled with sunshine and blustery showers, wintry over northern hills, perhaps with more persistent rain in places. Early next week it may become less windy generally with some longer drier, brighter spells and local night frost. However it will probably turn generally more unsettled and milder again by mid week as further bands of rain and strong winds sweep northeast across all areas. Most of the rain is likely in the west with drier spells more likely in the east and southeast. Although it looks as if these unsettled conditions will dominate for the rest of the period there is a small chance that things could become drier and colder generally, particularly away from the northwest, with an increased risk of both frost and fog.

Tuesday 24 Dec - Tuesday 7 Jan

Confidence is low throughout this period. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions seem more likely through late December, with the wetter weather in the west and longer drier spells in the east. By the time we go into January, longer spells of more widely dry, quiet and bright weather are possible, especially for southern and central areas, with the northwest more likely to remain unsettled. Temperatures should be near to or somewhat above average overall, but with the usual day to day variations. However in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

[Summer Sun]

Monday 16 Dec - Wednesday 25 Dec

Following the current very unsettled spell, early next week will probably become less windy generally with some longer drier and brighter spells with local frost and fog. However, it will probably turn generally more unsettled and milder again from around mid-week as further bands of rain and strong winds edge in from the west. Thereafter it looks as if unsettled and sometimes windy conditions will dominate for the rest of the period. Most of the rain will probably be in the west with drier spells more likely in the east and southeast. Snow is likely at times in the north, mainly on high ground. There remains a small chance of some longer colder, dry spells at times, with an increased risk of both frost and fog.

Wednesday 25 Dec - Wednesday 8 Jan

Confidence is low throughout this period. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions seem more likely through late December, with the wetter weather in the west and longer drier spells in the east. By the time we go into January, longer spells of more widely dry, quiet and bright weather are possible, especially for southern and central areas, with the northwest more likely to remain unsettled. Temperatures should be near to or somewhat above average overall, but with the usual day to day variations. However in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 17 Dec - Thursday 26 Dec

A less windy interlude is likely for many at the start of next week with longer drier, brighter spells but also night frost and patchy fog. However, there may be further rain in the southeast on Tuesday, perhaps extending further north. From mid-week it will turn milder and unsettled again as further bands of rain and strong winds edge in from the west, after which unsettled and sometimes windy conditions will probably last for the rest of the period. Most of the rain will probably be in the west with drier spells more likely in the east and southeast. Snow may occur at times in the north, mainly on high ground. There remains a chance of brief drier, colder interludes, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

Thursday 26 Dec - Thursday 9 Jan

Confidence is low throughout this period. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions seem more likely through late December, with the wetter weather in the west and longer drier spells in the east. By the time we go into January, longer spells of more widely dry, quiet and bright weather are possible, especially for southern and central areas, with the northwest more likely to remain unsettled. Temperatures should be near to or somewhat above average overall, but with the usual day to day variations. However in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

Wednesday 18 Dec - Friday 27 Dec

Rain in the southeast will clear early Wednesday, with drier, brighter conditions following. Away from the east and southeast, there could be some overnight frost and freezing fog. Feeling cold with some winter sunshine. In the west, there could be more cloud and outbreaks of rain. Thereafter, it will turn milder and unsettled again as further bands of rain and strong winds edge in from the west. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions will probably last for the rest of the period. Most of the rain will probably be in the west with drier spells more likely in the east and southeast. Snow may occur at times in the north, mainly on high ground. There remains a chance of brief drier, colder interludes, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

Summer's coming! Seriously, another depressingly dull update for cold/snow lovers, especially those south of the midlands!

No surprise whatsoever. There's been nowt in model output, other than fleeting, cherry-picked charts from some on NW. It's 6 weeks since i first stated wet, wet, wet for forseeable..and it'll continue well into January.

Yes at the beginning of November I also went for The wet weather to continue but got slated on the regionals. 
 

Here we are, 15th December and the landscape round my area is saturated with nowhere for the water to go - I’m going with another 6 weeks of wet weather despite the cherry picked fantasy rainbow charts on the MOD thread.

Winter 2019/20 - Wet and mild.

Maybe not, but that doesn't make it any better!

Well, if Uncle Barty makes an appearance, more of the UK would be dry and mild.

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 21 Dec - Monday 30 Dec

Saturday will probably remain unsettled in the north, but persistent rain tending to be replaced by more showery conditions. The south should begin fine, though heavy rain and strong winds will arrive later on. Thereafter, it will remain milder and unsettled again as further bands of rain and strong winds edge in from the west. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions will probably last for the rest of the period. Most of the rain will probably be in the west with drier spells more likely in the east and southeast. Snow may occur at times in the north, mainly on high ground. There remains a chance that more settled, brighter conditions may push in towards the end of this period, leading to a trend to slightly colder than average temperatures.

Monday 30 Dec - Monday 13 Jan

Confidence is low throughout this period. Changeable and sometimes windy conditions seem more likely to return at the end of December, with the wetter weather in the west and longer drier spells in the east. By the time we go into January, longer spells of more widely dry, quiet and bright weather are possible, especially for southern and central areas, with the northwest more likely to remain unsettled. Temperatures should be near to or somewhat above average overall, but with the usual day to day variations. However in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

Thank you.  Next please!!

Sunday 22 Dec - Tuesday 31 Dec

It looks like it will start rather unsettled and possibly windy, with further showers or perhaps some longer spells of rain in places, but also drier brighter interludes. However, after a mostly mild start to next week, there are signs that the weather may become drier and quieter, at least for a time, around Christmas, with an increased risk of frost and patchy fog. How long any such quieter, somewhat colder spell lasts is very uncertain, but there is a possibility that it could last to the end of next week. However it seems more likely that the weather will become more changeable again with near normal temperatures, particularly in the north and west, with more spells of rain and strong winds. Southeastern areas may well have longer dry spells.

Tuesday 31 Dec - Tuesday 14 Jan

Confidence is low throughout this period. By New Year and into the first week of January, we may be seeing some longer spells of more widely dry, quiet and bright weather, especially for southern and central areas, with the northwest more likely to remain unsettled. Thereafter it may become more unsettled again with the bulk of the rain and strongest winds in the west and northwest of the UK and the best of any drier and brighter conditions in the east and southeast. Temperatures should be near average overall, but with the usual day to day variations. However in quieter spells, it is likely to be colder generally, with an increased risk of frost and fog.

Yes and they’ve removed ‘near or somewhat above average temperatures’ to ‘near average’ in the extended.  Baby steps......
