Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Sunday 1 Mar - Tuesday 10 Mar

It will be unsettled with further spells of wind and rain, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. Wintry showers are possible further north, mainly over hills, but they could fall to lower levels. There will be an ongoing risk of gales, and should deep low pressure systems form, severe gales to storm force winds are possible. Continuing through the period, further wet and windy weather is likely, especially in the north, before more settled conditions start to develop from the south at the end of this period. Temperatures are likely to frequently oscillate between rather cold and rather mild. During any colder interludes, there is likely to be some snow on the high ground of the north.

Wednesday 11 Mar - Wednesday 25 Mar

A continuation of the unsettled weather is expected at first in the north, with spells of rain and strong winds broken by brighter, but showery conditions. The heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected in the northwest. It should be more settled with drier conditions in southern and eastern parts. Progressing through this period, conditions will likely turn more settled across most areas by the middle of March, with more prolonged dry spells possible, especially in the south. Any further spells of wet and windy weather most likely in the north. Temperatures mostly above average, but there will be large diurnal variations should more settled conditions take control, with frosts becoming likely.

A mention of slightly below average temperatures to cold in the north during the first period and cold recovering to average during the second!  It's been a while since we've seen that sort of update.  Not good for my March CET guess, though!  Oh well, never mind bring it on.......

Staying unsettled at first with longer spells of rain and scattered showers interspersed with bright or sunny spells. Across the north, there is a risk of sleet or snow at times over higher ground.

Towards the end of the period, the south may see a gradual change to more settled conditions with longer periods of drier and brighter weather, though some rain is still possible. Further north, the wet and windy weather looks likely to continue. Temperatures should be around normal or slightly below to start the period. Turning colder, especially across the north with a risk of frost overnight by the end of the period.

The above suggests perhaps high pressure migrating to our north or north west ushering in a colder northerly to north easterly flow for a time before retreating south through the UK.

Sunday 15 Mar - Tuesday 24 Mar

It will start unsettled and windy. Although rain may be slow to clear from southern and southeastern parts on Sunday, brighter showery conditions should spread across most areas. The showers probably turning wintry on high ground and perhaps to low levels in the far north into Monday. Through early next week there should be a change to more settled, drier and often brighter conditions than of late, particularly across southern and central areas. More changeable, windier conditions may persist across the northwest, whilst later in the period, these more changeable conditions may extend further south again. After a rather cold start, temperatures will probably recover to near normal or mild next week, with some pleasantly warm days possible despite some widespread overnight frosts.

Wednesday 25 Mar - Wednesday 8 Apr

Generally more widely settled conditions than of late are likely to continue. There will, however, be some interludes of more changeable, windier weather, especially across the north, bringing spells of rain interspersed with sunshine and showers. Temperatures will be generally near or somewhat above average. However, as is usual when we go into spring, there will be large ranges of temperature at times, giving some frosty nights followed by pleasantly warm days as well as some marked day to day changes in temperature.There is also the possibility of spells of east or northeast winds bringing rather cold, cloudy conditions to eastern parts.

[Summer Sun]

Monday 16 Mar - Wednesday 25 Mar

Monday should be a largely dry day with most areas seeing a spell of fine weather with light winds.

More changeable, windier conditions may persist across the northwest, whilst later in the period, these more changeable conditions may extend further south again.
