Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Summer Sun]

Tuesday 31 Mar - Thursday 9 Apr

The last day of March should be mainly dry with sunny spells with the odd light shower, although there may be some cloud and patchy rain towards the far north. The start of April should remain largely dry with high pressure conditions likely to dominate, bringing plenty of fine weather with bright or sunny spells across the UK, particularly towards the west. There is an increasing likelihood of colder northerly winds bringing showers, which could potentially fall wintry to lower levels, even for parts of the south. Unsettled conditions will tend to gradually become more established from the northwest towards the end of the period, bringing spells of wind and rain, which will allow temperatures to gradually recover.

Friday 10 Apr - Friday 24 Apr

Following the gradual change to more unsettled conditions, a more typical spring time pattern is expected with a mixture of sunny spells, increasing likelihood of daytime showers, and spells of rain at times. There is very low confidence in any details aside from these broad trends. Temperatures are likely to be around or slightly above the seasonal average, with the warmest weather expected in the southeast and east. Overnight frosts will tend to become much scarcer towards the end of the period.

A typical example of colder weather being pushed back.  Now into April rather than the final days of March!

Wednesday 1 Apr - Friday 10 Apr

For Wednesday, the south of the UK should see clear and sunny spells, whilst elsewhere is likely to be cloudier with the odd spot of rain or drizzle in the north. Over Thursday and Friday, conditions should continue to become more unsettled from the north, with further outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds pushing southwards. Looking further ahead, the unsettled conditions are likely to become more established. This will bring spells of rain, which are likely to be more persistent and heavy across the northwest, followed by spells of sunshine and showers. There could be strong winds at times, particularly towards the north where it is also expected to be colder. The south of the UK could be milder, with the driest conditions mostly likely towards the southeast.

Saturday 11 Apr - Saturday 25 Apr

It is most likely that this period will see spells of unsettled conditions, bringing wet and windy weather, interspersed with quieter interludes of dry and settled weather. The unsettled periods could see showers turning wintry over the higher ground in the north. The settled periods should see plenty of clear spells and sunshine, with the driest conditions expected in the southeast of the UK. Temperatures should remain around average, although there could be a large variance between day and night temperatures under more settled conditions.

Yes indeed.

And who knows back on tomorrow! Such is the nature of these further outlook guesses.

[Summer Sun]

Friday 3 Apr - Sunday 12 Apr

Through the beginning of the period unsettled conditions across the north are likely to spread southwards. The northwest will see the worst of the weather with spells of heavy rain and strong winds interspersed with sunshine and showers whilst the southeast should stay drier and brighter. Towards the middle of April the weather may turn more changeable with a few days of rain and strong winds alternating with periods of sunshine and showers for much of the UK. Any showers may turn to a mix of sleet and snow over northern hills. Temperatures are likely to be around normal for the time of year. During any more settled periods, mild days are likely to give way to cold nights.

[Summer Sun]

Monday 6 Apr - Wednesday 15 Apr

The beginning of this period looks unsettled with Atlantic weather systems bringing frequent bands of wet and windy conditions across the UK from the south or southwest. Weather systems will likely be interspersed by brighter and showery interludes, with the best chance of any fine weather in eastern parts. There remains a chance of wintry showers during any bright and showery interludes over northern hills. Temperatures likely around average, though there is the potential for some warmer days in the east. There remains a low chance that more general settled conditions could develop to begin, bringing much drier and less windy weather. Confidence is low, but conditions at the end of the period may become quite changeable, as spells of unsettled weather alternate back and forth with more settled conditions.

Thursday 16 Apr - Thursday 30 Apr

The changeable theme between unsettled and more settled conditions is likely to continue in the middle of April. This would bring wet and windy conditions for many during unsettled spells and much more dry and fine weather during settled periods. More dominant settled conditions may begin to develop from the southeast as we head towards the end of April. This dry and fine weather has the potential to gradually push northwestwards across much of the UK, though the far northwest will likely remain rather unsettled. Temperatures vary around average to begin the period, but probably trending above average by the end of the month, especially in the south. Frosts are still possible to begin this period but will likely become infrequent by the end.

Anyone get annoyed by the throwaway comments they chuck at the end of these updates?

Frosts becoming less frequent as we go through April and into May? Who would have guessed...

Thursday will be a dry day for many with cloudy conditions along the east coast and in the north, but sunny spells further south with some showers possible in the far south.

Temperatures generally on the warmer side in the south, but it may be cooler in the north and around the coasts.

Wednesday 29 Apr - Wednesday 13 May

At first, northern areas may see a continuation of the settled weather. Spells of showery rain seem to be largely confined to central and southern parts of England, as well as Wales, though there is the possibility for the rain/showers to spread further north. Towards the middle of May, there looks to be a shift towards more unsettled conditions, though confidence is low at this time.
