Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 29 Jun - Thursday 8 Jul

Unsettled in the south of the UK on Tuesday with persistent rain likely and thundery showers possible, accompanied by stronger winds. Elsewhere, drier with long spells of sunshine and lighter winds. Temperatures will be warm for most, though locally suppressed under the unsettled weather. Confidence is then lower, although on balance a lot of fine and dry weather is most likely throughout. However, there are signals for some brief unsettled periods with southern and eastern areas seeing showers, possibly heavy and thundery, and more prolonged rain in the northwest. Temperatures are likely be above normal, with the potential for some very warm and humid days in the south. Winds will likely be light to moderate throughout, with a westerly flow across northern areas, and an easterly flow across the south.

Friday 9 Jul - Friday 23 Jul

Although confidence remains low, in general settled conditions are likely, with a few brief unsettled spells possible. Some northwestern areas will likely see brief spells rain and cloudy conditions at times, as well as a continued risk for periods of heavy rain or thunderstorms especially across the south. Above-average temperatures continue to be well signalled, with the chance of some very warm or hot days to come.

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 1 Jul - Saturday 10 Jul

Likely a fine and dry day for most on Wednesday, although expecting increasingly large amounts of cloud inland initially, gradually burning back to the coast by day. Any showery rain will likely be confined to southeasternmost areas, but the odd heavier burst remains possible. Winds mostly light, and feeling warm or vary warm for most. Confidence is then lower, but the country is most likely to see a split between the southwest and northeast, with southern and western parts seeing some showers, and perhaps longer spells of rain, with the best of any dry weather across the north and east. Temps are likely to trend above normal, notably across some parts of the northeast. Winds remaining light to moderate for most, though possibly strong in the west at times.

Saturday 10 Jul - Saturday 24 Jul

Despite confidence remaining low through this period, the emphasis is on fine and dry weather for the majority of the UK through much of the rest of July. Some northwestern areas may perhaps experience slightly more rain and more cloud than elsewhere, but throughout there is a very low risk of thundery conditions, especially in southern areas, and more likely later in the period. Above average temperatures continue to maintain the strongest signal, which increases the possibility of some very warm or hot spells occurring.

These forecasts need updating. Not sure what charts they are looking at but it looks predominantly unsettled for all next week including north and east and there is mo signal for very warm conditions anywhere.

Who writes these! Shocking!

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 6 Jul - Thursday 15 Jul

Unsettled and rather changeable conditions look most likely through the start of this period, bringing some sunny spells but also spells of rain or showers, which at times could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures generally rather warm or locally very warm in the sunniest areas. Through the new week, sunny spells and showers, or perhaps longer spells of rain are most likely across the southern half of the UK, with northern and eastern areas likely to experience the best of any fine and dry weather. Temperatures are most likely to be above normal, notably in any prolonged sunshine. Looking to become cooler in the south, from the southwest, starting from Monday. Winds will at times be strong, with coastal gales in the west and northwest.

Friday 16 Jul - Friday 30 Jul

As is typical for the time of year, confidence is relatively low for this period, but fine and dry weather for much of the UK is most likely for the rest of July. There is however the possibility that occasional spells of rain may impact north-western areas, with a very low risk of thundery conditions developing at times across the south. Temperatures are likely to be above average for much of this period, with an increased risk of some very warm or hot spells occurring.

Terrible language used yet again.. locally very warm where? Cooler in the south starting next week. Just terrible and contradicting.

Latest update not shown, Met seem to have reacted to my post. It reads far better and makes much more sense than the last few updates..

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 8 Jul - Saturday 17 Jul

While Wednesday is likely to be another unsettled day with rain or showers, after this there is expected to be a trend towards more settled conditions as drier weather develops from the west. By the end of the week, many areas should see a of of dry weather, although still some showers at times. There is a lower chance of seeing more prolonged unsettled weather, mainly in the west. Towards the end of the period things are looking mostly fine and dry, though there remains a chance of isolated thunderstorms. Many areas are likely to see temperatures trending upwards through the period, with parts of the south potentially becoming very warm. Winds are looking to remain light across the UK for most of the period.

Sunday 18 Jul - Sunday 1 Aug

Could be far worse for heat seekers with this update!

[Summer Sun]

Friday 9 Jul - Sunday 18 Jul

A settled regime will likely be in place across much of the country at the end of next week as drier and warmer weather develops from the west. However, there is the threat of some spells of rain and a few showers potentially crossing the northern half of the country. There is a lower chance of seeing more prolonged unsettled weather, mainly in the west. Towards the end of the period things are looking mostly fine and dry, though there remains a chance of isolated thunderstorms.

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 10 Jul - Monday 19 Jul

A cloudy start over the weekend with some rain likely in south and southwestern areas. This could break up into showers into next week, potentially widespread and heavy, especially across central and southern areas. Drier and warmer weather will then develop from the west with just a few light showers possible. The threat of some spells of rain and a few showers potentially crossing the northern half of the country at times remains. Towards the end of the period conditions are looking mostly fine and dry, though there remains a chance of isolated thunderstorms. Many areas are likely to see temperatures trending upwards through the period, with parts of the south potentially becoming very warm.

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 11 Jul - Tuesday 20 Jul

We could see a continuation of showers and longer periods of rain going into next week, these potentially heavy and widespread. From mid-next week onwards, it is most likely turning increasingly settled with a good deal of dry weather, variable cloud and spells of sunshine. For the remainder of this period, there is a chance of warmer and drier than average conditions overall. The occasional spell of rain and unsettled weather are still possible, particularly over northwestern areas. However, most of the UK could see fine and dry conditions with slight showers at times for some. Temperatures are likely to be around average in the northwest and above average elsewhere, whilst south and southeastern areas could see conditions feeling very warm.

Wednesday 21 Jul - Wednesday 4 Aug

For the rest of July and into early August, there is a chance of conditions being warmer and drier than average overall. Some occasional spells of unsettled weather are still possible, especially in the northwest of the UK, but most areas should have a good deal of fine and dry weather. There remains a low risk of thunder, especially across southern and eastern areas. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the south possibly feeling very warm or hot at times.

Monday 12 Jul - Wednesday 21 Jul

We could see a continuation of showers and longer periods of rain going into next week, these potentially heavy and widespread. From mid-next week onwards, conditions could gradually become more settled with a good deal of dry weather, variable cloud and spells of sunshine, though this is still uncertain. For the remainder of this period, there is a greater chance of warmer and drier than average conditions overall. The occasional spell of rain and unsettled weather are still possible, particularly over northwestern areas. However, most of the UK could see fine and dry conditions with light showers at times. Temperatures are likely to be around average in the northwest and above average elsewhere, whilst south and southeastern areas could see conditions feeling very warm.

Thursday 22 Jul - Thursday 5 Aug

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 13 Jul - Thursday 22 Jul

Showers are expected to affect parts of the UK at first - these are most likely across northern and eastern areas with a good deal of dry weather elsewhere. During the second half of next week conditions are expected to become more settled with dry and bright weather developing for many areas. Some light showers are still possible in places, particularly in the northwest and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be around average, perhaps above average by the end of the week. Beyond this, warmer and drier than average conditions are most likely. The occasional unsettled spell of weather is still possible, particularly over northwestern areas, but overall most places will probably be mostly fine and dry. Temperatures are expected to rise above average.

Friday 23 Jul - Friday 6 Aug

For the rest of July and into early August, conditions are most likely to be warmer and drier than average. Some spells of unsettled weather are still possible, especially in the northwest of the UK, but overall most areas should have a good deal of fine and dry weather. There is a small chance of a few thunderstorms, especially across southern and eastern areas. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the south possibly feeling very warm or hot at times.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 14 Jul - Friday 23 Jul

Heavy, even possibly thundery, rain will clear the far southeast on Tuesday, with generally dry and fine conditions elsewhere. Temperatures initially sitting at average or slightly above, though cloud in the southeast may supress this slightly. Generally a mixture of sunny spells and showers for a couple of days will follow this, though showers likely less frequent in comparison. Most likely turning settled through the remainder of the period, but there is still the chance of a few showers developing during the day that can't be ruled out, especially in the southeast. Despite this, more dry weather than recently is expected, with variable cloud and sunny spells. The trend of temperatures being slightly above to above-average will continue.

Saturday 24 Jul - Saturday 7 Aug

For the rest of July and into early August, warmer and drier-than-average conditions are most probable overall. Occasional spells of more unsettled weather still remain possible, especially in northwestern areas, but the majority of the UK should see plenty of fine and dry weather. There is a low risk of temporary thundery conditions developing, especially across the south and east of the country, with a possibility of more changeable weather towards mid-August, with predictability becoming very low by then. Above-average temperatures continue to be signalled for much of the period, with some potential for hot periods in the south.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Friday 16 Jul - Sunday 25 Jul

By the start of this period there is high confidence that there will have been a marked change to much more settled and warm weather, as an area of high pressure becomes slow-moving across much of the UK and Ireland. This should bring in a lot of fine and dry weather meaning long sunny spells, variable cloud and mainly light winds should become the general trend for most. Temperatures also likely to be above normal for most, and possibly becoming hot at times for parts of the south. The occasional wetter spell cannot be ruled out, however, with an increasing likelihood of showers developing for southern areas. These showers also have the potential to turn thundery.

Monday 26 Jul - Monday 9 Aug

For the remainder of July and into early august, warmer and drier conditions are most probable overall as it looks likely that high pressure will remain close to the UK. There is also a continued risk of thundery inclusions into the south east and for spells of more unsettled weather in the north west. Temperatures also look to remain above average.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 17 Jul - Monday 26 Jul

This period will continue to be influenced by an area of high pressure as it moves slowly across the UK and Ireland. This should bring in a lot of fine and dry weather meaning long sunny spells, variable cloud and light winds should become the general trend for most, though at times some fresher and cloudier conditions may be seen along the North Sea coasts. Temperatures also likely to be above normal for most, and possibly becoming hot at times in the south. The occasional wetter spell cannot be ruled out, however, with an increasing likelihood of showers developing for southern areas, these showers possibly turning thundery. The north west and far north also may see unsettled weather on occasion, bringing cloud and a chance of rain and drizzle.

Tuesday 27 Jul - Tuesday 10 Aug

For the remainder of July and into early august, warmer and drier conditions are most probable overall as it looks likely that high pressure will remain close to the UK. There is also a continued risk of thundery inclusions into the south east and for spells of more unsettled weather in the north west. Temperatures also look to remain above average.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 18 Jul - Tuesday 27 Jul

This period will continue to be influenced by an area of high pressure slowly moving across the UK. It's expected to be widely dry with plenty of sunshine developing on Sunday, however cloudy with perhaps some rain at times across the Northern Isles. Following this, it's likely that we'll see a good deal of dry weather with plenty of sunshine, at least at first. Through this period there's an increasing risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms developing from the South and West. Temperatures will continue to be very warm at first, and perhaps locally hot in central and southern areas, before probably becoming somewhat cooler and fresher from the southwest later next week heralding a change to a more unsettled spell towards the end of July.

Wednesday 28 Jul - Wednesday 11 Aug

A more unsettled interlude seems probable to end July with rain or showers for all areas, risk heavy and thundery, especially in the South. However, into early August, warmer and drier-than-average conditions look likely to return. Although, occasional spells of more unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the northwest, as well as a chance of temporary thundery showers, especially across the southeast. Confidence decreases after this with conditions thought to become generally more changeable towards mid-August. Above-average temperatures continue to be signalled for much of the period, perhaps becoming very warm or hot at times in the south.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday 21 Jul - Friday 30 Jul

This period will continue to be influenced by an area of high pressure slowly moving across the UK. The odd shower remains possible for Wednesday afternoon, but it will be largely dry with sunny spells; the best of these in the west, while cloudier and cooler conditions are expected for northern and eastern areas. Following this, it's likely that we'll see a change to more unsettled weather toward the weekend, with sunny spells and heavy, possibly thundery showers moving in from the south; northern areas are likely to see the driest conditions. Temperatures continue to be very warm at first, perhaps locally hot especially across parts of the west, before probably becoming somewhat cooler and fresher from the southwest later next week, heralding the change to the more unsettled spell.

Saturday 31 Jul - Saturday 14 Aug

An unsettled interlude is probable for the end of July, with rain or showers for most areas, these locally heavy and thundery, especially in the south. Into early August, warmer and drier-than-average conditions look likely to return for much of the UK, although some unsettled weather is still possible, especially in the northwest and the southeast. By mid-August confidence becomes rather low, but with changeable conditions most likely. Above-average temperatures continue to be signalled for much of the period, perhaps becoming very warm or hot at times in the south.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

 

[Summer Sun]

Saturday 24 Jul - Monday 2 Aug

High pressure begins to lessen it's grip by Saturday, as it drifts northwards. As it does so, more unsettled weather moves in for the weekend, starting in the south as heavy, possibly thundery, rain Saturday. Remaining very warm with plenty of sunshine in the northern half of the UK, and possibly locally hot, especially in the northwest. Cooler for some northern areas and windward coasts. Some low cloud, mist and sea fog can be expected for some of these areas, as well as parts of the southwest into Sunday. For the rest of the period, spells of rain or showers are likely for many areas, with some heavy rain or thunderstorms possible at times. Temperatures just above average for most, to modestly above average in the north. Winds remain light.

Tuesday 3 Aug - Tuesday 17 Aug

By early August, warmer and drier-than-average conditions look likely to return for much of the UK, although there is an increased risk of thunderstorms, especially in the southeast. By mid-August confidence becomes rather low, but with changeable conditions most likely. Above-average temperatures continue to be signalled for much of the period, perhaps becoming very warm or hot at times in the south.

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 27 Jul - Thursday 5 Aug

An unsettled start to the period with most places seeing showers developing by day on Tuesday, these possibly thundery at times. There is also a risk of more persistent and heavy rain affecting northern Scotland. Conditions remain changeable mid-week with outbreaks of rain moving in from the west, further thundery showers in between any drier interludes and stronger winds for the time of year. Temperatures are likely to dip back to near normal to warm for most. From the end of next week until early August, we will likely see changeable conditions with a mix of sunny spells and heavy showers, perhaps with some more prolonged rain at times. Currently, there is no preference towards any particular area seeing one regime dominate. Temperatures around average.

Friday 6 Aug - Friday 20 Aug

To begin the period, mixed conditions look likely to remain for a few more days, with no dominant weather type. Drier conditions with sunny spells are likely to be interspersed with showers or longer periods of rain. As we head further towards mid-August, it is most likely to become more settled with drier and warmer conditions developing. However, as with all long range forecasts, confidence become lower towards longer timescales.

Sunny spells, and thundery showers? I'll take it!

[Summer Sun]

Thursday 29 Jul - Saturday 7 Aug

Remaining unsettled through much of this period, with most places seeing showers or rain at times. Heavy and persistent rain is likely across northern Scotland on Thursday and the rest of the UK could well see showers develop though the day, some heavy and possibly thundery at times. Conditions remain changeable with outbreaks of rain moving in from the west, and further thundery showers possible between any drier interludes. Stronger that average winds are expected for the time of year. From the end of next week until early August, we will likely see mixed conditions with sunny spells and heavy showers, perhaps with some more prolonged rain at times. Southwestern areas possibly staying driest whereas the northeast could be wetter than usual. Average temperatures are expected.

Sunday 8 Aug - Sunday 22 Aug

Changeable conditions look likely to continue through the start of this period, with sunny spells mixed in with some showers at times or longer spells of rain, these more prevalent in the northwest. Although confidence in the detail is low, there are tentative signals suggesting that high pressure may become more dominant during the middle of August, bringing more settled, drier and warmer conditions for many. There would still be a risk of showers or thunderstorms at times. Temperatures are most likely to be above average.

[Dorsetbred]

Sunday 1 Aug - Tuesday 10 Aug
Changeable conditions continuing to dominate for the start of August, with a mixture of sunny and dry periods, showery periods and the chance of longer spells of rain. At first the south is likely to see the most showers, with the north remaining the driest, but by the end of the period the south and southeast will possibly be the driest and the west and northwest the wettest. There remains a chance for any showers or rain to produce thunderstorms. Temperatures are most likely cooler than average for this time of year, trending to slightly cooler than average or average through the period, with the south and southwest having the best chance of seeing average temperatures.

Wednesday 11 Aug - Wednesday 25 Aug
As is typical for this time of year, confidence is low for this period. However, there is a tentative sign of more settled conditions developing with higher pressure becoming slightly more likely. This means drier conditions may become more prevalent, although there is still the risk of showers or thunderstorms at times. Temperatures likely to trend to above average, with an increasing chance of hotter spells developing as the month progresses.

Tuesday 3 Aug - Thursday 12 Aug

Changeable conditions continuing to dominate the first half of August, with a mixture of sunny and dry periods and showery spells for all, possibly merging to give longer spells of rain. Widespread thundery showers will give away to bands of rain from the Atlantic which may bring unsettled conditions to all parts. However the south and southeast potentially seeing drier weather and the west and northwest the wettest. There remains a chance for any showers or rain to produce thunderstorms, particularly in the far south. Temperatures are most likely cooler than average for this time of year, trending to slightly cooler than average or average through the period, with the south and southwest having the best chance of seeing average temperatures.
