Friday 29 Jan - Sunday 7 Feb

Unsettled conditions look likely to dominate for this period, with low pressure across the UK. Therefore, this should bring changeable weather to most of the country, with periods of rain, showers, and strong winds at times. While mild westerly and southwesterly winds are expected to be dominant for most of the period, occasional colder northerly winds are possible, bringing a chance of snowfall, likely confined to the far northern parts. Towards the end of the period, we may see high pressure bringing a higher than average chance of cold weather more widely with wintry outbreaks. If this were to occur many inland and southern areas would likely see drier than average conditions, with some overnight of frost and fog.

Sunday 7 Feb - Sunday 21 Feb

Confidence is low for this period, but current signals indicate a possible high pressure system around or near the UK during this period. This would likely bring cold northerly winds, producing colder than average temperatures and wintry outbreaks. The second half of February is likely to have a mixture of weather types, with periods of wet, windy and milder weather interspersed with drier, calmer, colder periods.

I had seen this update just as Ian fergie was saying that they (met) are looking at a potentially colder weekend and future so hopefully the updates will change nxt couple of days

Sounds promising but must be particularly difficult to call longer term at the moment!

UK long range weather forecast

Sunday 31 Jan - Tuesday 9 Feb

After a very cold but bright start to Sunday, rain will move in from the west later. Going into next week, unsettled conditions look likely to dominate, with low pressure systems moving in off the Atlantic. The weather will be changeable. Periods of rain or wintry showers, and strong winds are likely, especially in the west, with brief more settled spells in between. Westerly or southwesterly winds during this period will bring milder temperatures to most areas, but occasional interludes of cold northerly winds are possible. It will be on this boundary between colder and milder airmasses where any snowfall to lower levels could possibly occur. Towards the end of this period, we may see high pressure build over the north of the UK, bringing colder temperatures and wintry outbreaks.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Tue 26 Jan 2021

Tuesday 9 Feb - Tuesday 23 Feb

Although confidence at this range is low, current signals suggest that high pressure could be positioned over the north of the UK during this period. This would likely bring wintry outbreaks and colder than average temperatures to northern areas, as well as increasing the likelihood of more widespread cold spells. Any periods of milder, unsettled weather are more likely to be confined to central and southern areas, where greater than average rainfall is predicted. There is a continued risk of significant snowfall events on the boundary between colder and milder airmasses, with snow possible to low elevations.

bit of a upgrade id say...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a turnaround as the update from 16:00 Monday to 16:00 Tuesday - a completely different forecast, and a massive upgrade. Never seen a shift like that in the space of 24 hours.

The UKMO long-range update is holding firm for coldies today! Here are the highlights:

“Monday 1 Feb - Wednesday 10 Feb:

Towards the end of this period, we may see high pressure build over the north of the UK, bringing colder temperatures and wintry outbreaks.

Wednesday 10 Feb - Wednesday 24 Feb:

Although confidence at this range is low, current signals suggest that high pressure could be positioned over the north of the UK during this period. This would likely bring wintry outbreaks and colder than average temperatures to northern areas, as well as increasing the likelihood of more widespread cold spells.”

Here’s to some decent 12z upgrades later this afternoon, this could be our best shot at a prolonged cold spell this winter.

Met office holding firm with the suggestion of a possible lengthy cold period in February and not just a 2-3 day wonder, could easily see a fortnight of very cold weather if heights lock in to our north and we pull in a colder NE feed. High chances I say!

Although confidence at this range is low, current signals suggest that high pressure could be positioned over the north of the UK during this period. This would likely bring wintry outbreaks and colder than average temperatures to northern areas, as well as increasing the likelihood of more widespread cold spells. Any periods of milder, unsettled weather are more likely to be confined to central and southern areas, where greater than average rainfall is predicted.

Quite an update!

 

Quote

Wintry precipitation is likely to persist over northern areas on Wednesday, showers in the far southwest, elsewhere rather cloudy with plenty of dry weather. Mild at first in the south; though high pressure building up over the north of the UK during this period is likely to bring easterly winds, cold temperatures, and coastal snow showers. A pattern of wintry showers persisting across the far north, elsewhere seeing mostly fine weather, widespread frosts, fog, and icy patches. Eastern parts seeing the most hazardous conditions, with further snow showers likely. The south and west will see the most of any organised rain and snow, but frontal systems are generally not expected to progress across the country.

Friday 12 Feb - Friday 26 Feb

High pressure to the north looks set to remain for at least the beginning of this period, before slowly declining, although confidence at this range is low. Mid February will continue to see cold, dry, and wintry weather, but towards the end of the month more unsettled weather may encroach from the Atlantic. These may bring rain and snow at times to the west and southwest. There is a continued risk of significant snowfall events on the boundary between colder and milder airmasses, with snow possible in many areas.

This is about as far as the met office will come off the fence at 7 days out.

Very positive signs

For something still 7 days away, that's about as bullish a forecast for prolonged Easterly-driven cold as I've ever seen. That doesn't mean anything is nailed of course but I'm always of the view that until Exeter jump aboard, potential Easterlies are more hope than anything. To have them on-side is a real confidence booster going forward...

I particularly like the bit about the south and west seeing the most of any organised rain and snow.

That has stalling and retreating fronts written all over it.

I started to get the old Feb 78 tingle when I read that.
