Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Tuesday 19 Apr 2016 to Tuesday 3 May 2016:

The detail in the forecast through the latter part of April and into May is currently uncertain. However, the most likely scenario is for a continuation of changeable conditions, with a mixture of sunny spells and showers or longer spells of rain. Some more prolonged sunnier and drier periods are possible, the best of which will probably occur in the north and northwest. Overall temperatures will remain around normal for the time of year, with some warmer spells developing at times, but still a chance of overnight frosts, most likely in the north.

UK Outlook for Sunday 10 Apr 2016 to Tuesday 19 Apr 2016:

A generally unsettled start to the period, with showers or longer spells of rain likely to affect most of the country. These showers could be heavy at times with a risk of thunder, mixed with some drier interludes, but possibly with some hill snow in the north. As we move into the following week, the pattern of sunshine and occasionally heavy showers will continue, but with the northwest seeing the better of any drier spells. Winds will generally be moderate throughout, but strong along exposed coasts with a risk of gales in the southwest. Temperatures are likely to start below average, rising to around average through the week, possibly reaching slightly above normal in the south east by the end of the period.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 20 Apr 2016 to Wednesday 4 May 2016:

The unsettled conditions are expected to continue into late April, with showers or longer periods of rain, mixed with drier, brighter periods. Towards May the bias towards better weather may move from favouring northwestern parts, to instead favouring more southeast areas. Winds should be generally moderate, but with a chance of some gales in exposure, mainly in the west or northwest. Temperatures should be around or just above normal, especially in the south and southeast in any drier interludes.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 12 Apr 2016 to Thursday 21 Apr 2016:

A generally unsettled period, with showers or longer spells of rain likely to affect most of the country with strong winds at times. The showers could be heavy at times with a risk of thunder and possibily some hill snow in the north. There will also be some drier interludes, with the best of these perhaps in the far north at first, although southeastern areas may become more favoured later in the period. Temperatures are likely to vary quite widely given the changeable weather, although overall are likely to range from rather cold in the far north and northeast, to rather warm at times in the south especially southeast, although it will feel cold in all areas at times during periods of strong winds and heavier rain.

UK Outlook for Thursday 21 Apr 2016 to Thursday 5 May 2016:

The somewhat unsettled conditions will probably continue with showers or longer periods of rain, mixed with drier, brighter periods. The bias towards better weather probably favouring southeastern areas at first, although there may be a shift into late April with a signal for drier conditions in the northwest, although with somewhat wetter than average conditions likely to continue on the whole through into May. Winds should be generally moderate, but with a chance of some gales in exposure, mainly in the west or northwest. Temperatures are very uncertain with marked day to day variation probably averaging out.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 12 Apr 2016 to Thursday 21 Apr 2016:

An unsettled period for most with many areas likely to see showers or longer spells of rain. These are expected to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and maybe some snow over northern hills. There should also be some drier interludes, with the far north expected to see the best of these. Winds are likely to be strongest in the north at first with gales possible, but will vary markedly with both light and strong winds possible at times anywhere. A wide variation in temperatures is expected, predominantly warmer than average in the south, to rather cold in the north, although feeling chilly anywhere in periods of rain and strong winds.

UK Outlook for Saturday 23 Apr 2016 to Saturday 7 May 2016:

Late April is likely to see unsettled conditions continue with a pattern of wet and windy weather for most, mixed with drier and brighter interludes, the best of any drier conditions likely to be in the northwest. As we move into early May, there is very low confidence that pressure could build from the south, bringing drier, more settled conditions. Temperatures are expected to be around normal for the time of year, but with marked day to day variations.

UK Outlook for Thursday 14 Apr 2016 to Saturday 23 Apr 2016:

The middle part of April looks likely to be unsettled, with most areas experiencing either showers or longer spells of rain. These should be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and there will probably be some snow over northern hills. There will also be some drier, brighter interludes, with the north and northwest of Scotland expected to see the best of these, especially during the first few days. A wide variation is expected in the temperature. In general it should be mostly colder than average in the north but often rather warm in the south, and in the southeast in particular. However, it will feel chilly anywhere in periods of rain, especially if the wind is strong too. Occasional night frosts are likely in the north.

UK Outlook for Sunday 24 Apr 2016 to Sunday 8 May 2016:

There is currently a large degree of uncertainty regarding the weather during the latter part of April and the first week of May. The latest indications are that to start off with we are most likely to experience a continuation of unsettled weather, with generally wetter than average conditions, and probably also large variations in temperature. However there are signs that pressure may gradually start to build across southern areas, which could lead to increasingly settled weather here.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Friday 15 Apr 2016 to Sunday 24 Apr 2016:

Up to and including the first weekend we are currently expecting a north to northeasterly airflow across the British Isles. Southern England should have the cloudiest conditions at first, probably with occasional rain, whereas central and northern parts are more likely to be brighter with a few showers, wintry on higher ground. It should feel pleasant during the afternoons in any sunshine, but overnight frosts are likely in central and northern areas. Then as we head into the week beginning 18th April the latest indications are that the main airflow direction will gradually swing round to become more southeasterly. This would give warmer temperatures, with a reasonable amount of dry, bright weather in northern areas, but with the likelihood of rain or heavy showers, perhaps thundery, moving across southern parts.

UK Outlook for Monday 25 Apr 2016 to Monday 9 May 2016:

There is currently a large degree of uncertainty regarding the weather during the latter part of April and the first part of May. The latest indications are that during the last week of April conditions will probably be mixed, with both bright and settled weather and also some rain or showers at times, and also with some large variations in the temperature. In early May there is currently no strong signal for what sort of weather type will hold sway across the British Isles, although mostly dry conditions may begin to predominate.

UK Outlook for Saturday 16 Apr 2016 to Monday 25 Apr 2016:

Initially it will be rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain across southern parts, whilst further north it should be brighter with a few showers. Brighter conditions are likely to spread to southern areas through the course of the weekend. It should feel pleasant during the afternoons in any sunshine, but overnight frosts are likely in central and northern areas. As we head into the new working week the main airflow direction should swing round to become more southeasterly. This would give warmer temperatures, with a reasonable amount of dry, bright weather, but also with some rain or heavy showers, perhaps thundery, affecting southwestern or western areas at times. Drier and more settled conditions may become predominant by the end of the period.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Sunday 17 Apr 2016 to Tuesday 26 Apr 2016:

For Sunday and Monday it looks as if low pressure will give southern parts of England and Wales showery bursts of rain at times, whilst further north high pressure is more likely to give predominantly dry and sunnier weather. Generally feeling on the cool side across all parts, with a likelihood of overnight frost and fog patches across central and northern areas. High pressure is then expected to dominate for much of the remaining period, bringing a good deal of dry and settled weather, albeit rather breezy at times. Showery rain may move up from the near continent to affect southern England at times, and the odd shower may develop locally elsewhere. Temperatures generally around average, but with some chilly and potentially frosty nights, especially in the north.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 27 Apr 2016 to Wednesday 11 May 2016:

Signals are very mixed and weak through this period, giving very low confidence in the forecast at this stage. Such signals that there are suggest the best of the weather in the south and southeast, and more unsettled conditions towards the north and northwest.

UK Outlook for Monday 18 Apr 2016 to Wednesday 27 Apr 2016:

For the first week of this period, high pressure is expected to remain centred to the west of the United Kingdom. This should bring a good deal of dry and settled weather, with variable amounts of cloud, although it is expected to be rather breezy at times. A few showers are likely at times, though these mostly towards the north of the country. On the whole it is expected to be rather cool throughout next week, with the potential for ground frost continuing where skies are clear overnight. Beyond next weekend, more unsettled conditions may develop with more in the way of rain, although signals are very mixed such that this change carries low confidence.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 19 Apr 2016 to Thursday 28 Apr 2016:

High pressure will continue to dominate the United Kingdom during the middle of next week. This should bring a good deal of dry and settled weather, with variable amounts of cloud, although it is expected to be rather breezy at times in the south. A few showers are possible, with a risk of these being heavy and thundery across southern parts at times. Temperatures will be generally near normal during day time although over night frosts are possible where skies clear. Into next weekend there may be a trend to increasingly changeable weather as rather cool conditions develop. This will bring more in the way of rain, although signals are very mixed such that this change carries low confidence.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Friday 29 Apr 2016 to Friday 13 May 2016:

Changeable conditions look set to persist for the end of April with showery, breezy and rather cool conditions for most. As we enter May, there is a weak signal for drier conditions to dominate although some rain is possible at times. Towards mid-May there is a mixed outlook with rain at times interspersed with drier brighter conditions and temperatures remaining near normal.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 20 Apr 2016 to Friday 29 Apr 2016:

High pressure will continue to dominate much of the UK during the middle of next week. This should bring a good deal of dry and settled weather, with variable amounts of cloud, although the far northwest always at risk of seeing some showers. Pleasantly warm at times but with chilly nights. An area of showery rain may move across southern England, perhaps turning heavy and thundery at times with a stiff easterly breeze, although there is currently low confidence regarding the detail of this. Into next weekend and the following week cold northerly winds are expected to bring a mixture of sunny spells and showers, the showers most frequent in the north and east with these wintry at times. It will become generally cold with overnight frosts.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Thursday 21 Apr 2016 to Saturday 30 Apr 2016:

Dry and settled across most of the country at first on Thursday, with plenty of sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud. Showery rain in the southwest, which could turn heavy and thundery at times, is likely to push northeast with a fresh easterly breeze. This is expected to continue pushing northeast through Friday although there is uncertainty in the northward reach of the rain. Temperatures initially near normal, perhaps warmer in the far south, but with chilly nights. Through next weekend and into the following week a brisk cool northerly flow is likely to develop, bringing a period of sunshine and showers. The showers are expected to be heaviest in the north and east, possibly organised and wintry at times. Turning generally cold through this period with overnight frosts.

UK Outlook for Sunday 1 May 2016 to Sunday 15 May 2016:

May is expected to start unsettled, with a cold northwesterly flow bringing sunshine and showers, and below average temperatures, along with some overnight frosts. There is a signal for drier and brighter conditions to develop for a time, mixed with some rain, whilst temperatures are expected to move towards normal for the time of year.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Friday 22 Apr 2016 to Sunday 1 May 2016:

Friday sees rain in the south pushing north for a time, maybe reaching central parts before slowly clearing, though temperatures should be around normal. Further north a cold airflow is expected to become established, bringing showers or longer spells of rain, with snow over higher ground. Wintriness is also possible down to low levels in the far north, along with some gales. The cold conditions are expected to spread to all areas through next weekend and into the start of the following week, bringing periods of sunshine, showers and longer spells of rain, these turning wintry at times. The cold, unsettled conditions are then expected to persist through to the start of May, with rain or showers turning wintry over most parts and widespread overnight frosts.

UK Outlook for Monday 2 May 2016 to Monday 16 May 2016:

May is expected to start cold, with a northerly flow bringing sunshine and showers, with some of these turning occasionally wintry, especially in the north, along with widespread overnight frosts.

Too little, too late though tbh other than 'occasional wintry showers' I think its the nights, which will do the most damage with frosts which ain't good for gardeners
