Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Wednesday 29 Aug 2012 to Friday 7 Sep 2012:

On Wednesday, rain is expected to spread eastwards across the UK, heaviest and most persistent in the south, but more intermittent further north. Windy too, with gales possible across the south and far northwest. By Thursday, showers will be mainly confined to the east, with sunny spells elsewhere. Thereafter, a more settled period looks likely with extended spells of fine, dry weather in most areas, although rain is still possible at times, mainly in the north and west. Temperatures are expected to be generally close to average, but occasionally warm in the south and southeast. However, some chilly nights are also likely, especially over the weekend. As the Paralympics draw closer the Met Office will have local forecasts so that everyone can make the most of the Games experience.

UK Outlook for Thursday 30 Aug 2012 to Saturday 8 Sep 2012:

On Thursday, a breezy start in the east with some early rain or showers, with other areas probably mostly dry. Thereafter, a generally settled period looks likely with extended spells of fine, dry weather in most areas, although rain is still possible at times, mainly in the north and west. Towards the end of the period, there are indications that rain may become more frequent and extend further south, but there should still be decent periods of dry weather between. Temperatures should be generally close to average, but occasionally warm in the south and southeast. However, some chilly nights are also likely, especially the first weekend. As the Paralympics draw closer the Met Office will have local forecasts so that everyone can make the most of the Games experience.

UK Outlook for Friday 31 Aug 2012 to Sunday 9 Sep 2012:

A north-south split across the UK during Friday and Saturday with northern parts rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain. Further south should be largely dry with spells of sunshine developing, especially on Saturday. Further rain is likely at times in the north as we head into early September, otherwise a good deal of fine and dry weather is expected with some decent sunny spells developing. Heading towards the end of the period though a trend to more unsettled conditions across the UK is possible. Temperatures, generally close to average, but occasionally warm in the south and southeast. However, some chilly nights are also likely, especially at first. As the Paralympics draw closer the Met Office will have local forecasts so that everyone can make the most of the Games experience.

UK Outlook for Sunday 2 Sep 2012 to Tuesday 11 Sep 2012:

The north-south split across the UK continuing on Sunday and Monday, with northern parts mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. For the rest of the UK, it should be largely dry and bright with spells of sunshine and perhaps some overnight mist and fog. Through the rest of the week, the divide persists, but becomes a little more blurred, with any rain in the north becoming a little less frequent, and some drier and brighter conditions at times. Still largely dry and fine in the south. Towards the end of the period, there is a trend to return to more unsettled conditions, with occasional spells of rain but also some fine and dry weather in between. Temperatures, generally close to average in the northwest, but warm elsewhere.

UK Outlook for Monday 3 Sep 2012 to Wednesday 12 Sep 2012:

Northern and western parts of the UK remaining fairly unsettled on Monday and Tuesday, with bands of rain, although occasional drier, brighter spells. Further south and east, largely dry with some brightness. A brief settled spell across much of the UK midweek, before further rain or showers spread across northwestern parts later in the week. Still largely dry and fine in southern and southeastern areas. Towards the end of the period, there is a trend to return to more generally unsettled conditions, with occasional spells of rain but also some fine and dry weather in between, the best of which will continue to be for southern and eastern parts of the UK. Temperatures, generally close to average, though locally warm in the brighter southeast.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Tuesday 4 Sep 2012 to Thursday 13 Sep 2012:

Cloud and occasional rain may spread southeastwards across the country with clearer conditions following behind during Tuesday, but perhaps staying mainly dry in the far south. Meanwhile, frequent heavy showers may affect the far north at times with strong, possibly gale force winds here. Most places should become mainly fine, warm and dry by Wednesday, but a chance of more unsettled conditions returning to northwestern parts by Thursday, and perhaps moving further south by Friday and into the weekend, with some uncertainty at this time on how far south this will reach. Meanwhile, cooler and more showery conditions should follow into more northern parts. Staying changeable for the week after, but with the best chance of drier, brighter and warmer weather in the south of the UK.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 5 Sep 2012 to Friday 14 Sep 2012:

Most parts of the UK will start off fine and dry with some sunny spells, although there is likely to be the chance of a few showers towards the northwest. However, into the end of the working week conditions across northern areas are likely to become increasingly unsettled, with showers of longer spells of rain, but southern parts should hold on to the mainly fine and warm conditions. Into the following week it looks likely to remain unsettled across the north and particularly the northwest of the UK, with southeastern areas likely to see some drier and brighter weather. Temperatures are likely to be near normal across most parts of the country, with a chance of warm conditions continuing across southern and especially southeastern areas.

UK Outlook for Thursday 6 Sep 2012 to Saturday 15 Sep 2012:

Most of England and Wales will start off fine and dry with warm sunny spells. However, Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland are likely to be rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain, some of which could be heavy. This trend looks set to continue into the first weekend, with most of England, Wales and Northern Ireland likely to stay fine with further warm sunny spells, although nights may be rather cool, with the some patchy fog developing. However further north it is likely to remain predominantly cloudy, with further spells of rain. Into the second week conditions across southern areas look likely to remain settled. However, towards the north and particularly the northwest, conditions look likely to be rather changeable, with outbreaks of rain punctuated by some drier, brighter periods.

UK Outlook for Friday 7 Sep 2012 to Sunday 16 Sep 2012:

At the start of the period, England and Wales should be largely dry with warm sunny spells and mainly light winds. Often chilly nights though, with mist or patchy fog giving a rather autumnal feel to some of the early mornings. Scotland and Northern Ireland generally cloudier with rain at times, but also some drier, brighter periods, particularly to the east of high ground. Generally breezy here, with strong winds at times and temperatures around normal. As we move towards the latter part of this period, the north-south split in the weather described above looks likely to become more of a west-east division, with western, and especially northwestern, parts rather unsettled, while eastern Britain sees the best of the sunshine. Temperatures still generally somewhat warmer than average.

UK Outlook for Saturday 8 Sep 2012 to Monday 17 Sep 2012:

Early in the period, England and Wales should be largely dry with warm sunny spells and mainly light winds. Often chilly nights though, with mist or patchy fog giving a rather autumnal feel to some of the early mornings. Scotland and Northern Ireland generally cloudier with rain at times, but also some drier, brighter periods, particularly to the east of high ground. Generally breezy here, with strong winds at times and temperatures around normal or just above. As we move towards the latter part of this period, increasingly unsettled conditions look likely to develop across much of the UK, with western, and especially northwestern, parts seeing the most frequent spells of rain, while southeastern Britain keeps the best of the weather. Temperatures still generally warmer than average, especially southeastern areas.

UK Outlook for Monday 10 Sep 2012 to Wednesday 19 Sep 2012:

Starting dry, bright and warm in the southeast, but quickly becoming unsettled in most places with showers or longer spells of rain. Windy at times, with gales possible in the north and west. Temperatures around normal or a little above. Towards the end of next week, some drier and brighter weather is likely, especially in central and southern areas, where there will be a risk of mist or fog first thing in the mornings. However, remaining changeable in the north with heavy rain and strong winds at times. Towards the end of the period, unsettled conditions in the northwest will tend to spread to most areas, with bands of cloud and rain, some heavy. Temperatures still generally close to or slightly above average, warmest in southeastern areas.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 11 Sep 2012 to Thursday 20 Sep 2012:

Generally unsettled throughout. A low to the north of Scotland at first leading to windy and showery conditions in the north, with the risk of gales. Some longer spells of rain at times, mainly in the north and west. The best of any drier and brighter weather to the south and east. Temperatures a little below normal in the north, and slightly above in the southeast. Later next week, and beyond, remaining changeable, with further heavy rain and strong winds at times, especially in the north, with the risk of severe gales in the north towards the end of the period. The best of any dry and bright weather is likely towards the south and east. Temperatures mainly near normal, a little above in the in the east and southeast.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 12 Sep 2012 to Friday 21 Sep 2012:

This period looks to be characterised by generally unsettled conditions. Northern and western areas of the UK are most likely to see the greatest amounts of precipitation, with some heavy and persistent rain likely at times. That said, southern and eastern areas will also see some rain, especially early in the period. Northern and western areas will also see the windiest conditions, with a risk of gales or even severe gales at times in the north. On the whole, pressure looks to remain higher in the south and consequently, with drier, brighter conditions, the warmest temperatures can be expected here, perhaps rising above average at times. However there will be an increasing risk of mist and fog developing overnight, especially where winds fall light.

UK Outlook for Saturday 15 Sep 2012 to Monday 24 Sep 2012:

A good deal of dry weather is likely for many over the weekend with the best of the sunnier conditions towards southeast England, but this in turn may bring the risk of some overnight fog. However northern parts will be windy at times, with cloudier conditions and outbreaks of rain reaching the northwest by Sunday. Temperatures on the whole will be close to average, but with perhaps some chilly nights across central and southern England. A gradual breakdown though to more unsettled conditions is likely as we head into next week, with outbreaks of rain reaching many parts at times. However towards the southeast drier and brighter conditions inerludes will develop, allowing it to become locally warm by day. Otherwise temperatures are expected to remain close to the seasonal average.

Yea just about how I see things.

Nice to see the daily Express exciting people about hurricane force winds later this week. I'm fed up of telling people this morning that the only noteworthy and potentially damaging winds is likely for the far North with no more than a stiff breeze in the South..Why do people get so hung up on these stories. You really would think they'd learn.

Yes disappointingly there`s still an element of irresponsible reporting amongst the press.

There should be a more factual angle applied to things like weather especially when the possibility-or not in this case-of widespread stormy conditions are being talked about.

I know they have to sell newspapers but i wish they would keep the sensationalism bent on things to items that don`t matter such as celebrities and pop music etc.

come on Phil-next you will be telling me you believe in fairies.

I don't envy any professional forecaster at this time of year. Tropical storms are enormous beasts, I did once read in either the professional Met Magazine or maybe Weather whilst on Ascension Island of the incredible amount of energy that the major hurricane of 1989-90 created.

I guess it does no harm to hope for some sensible reporting on the important things though John.

UK Outlook for Sunday 16 Sep 2012 to Tuesday 25 Sep 2012:

A good deal of dry weather is likely for many at first with the best of the sunnier conditions and warm daytime temperatures towards the southeast. However chilly nights may bring the risk of some overnight fog. Northwestern parts will start windy at times, with cloudier conditions and outbreaks of sometimes heavy rain, temperatures on the whole will be close to average. A gradual breakdown to more unsettled conditions across all parts is expected during the middle of next week, with outbreaks of rain reaching many parts. The southeast is likely to see the drier and brighter conditions hang on the longest. Unsettled conditions look likely to predominate in all areas thereafter, with temperatures expected to be close to or just below the seasonal average.

UK Outlook for Monday 17 Sep 2012 to Wednesday 26 Sep 2012:

A good deal of dry weather is likely in the southeast of the UK on Monday with some sunshine and daytime temperatures a little above average. However chilly nights give the risk of some overnight fog. Northwestern parts will start windy, with large amounts of cloud giving outbreaks of sometimes heavy rain and temperatures a little below average. Bands of rain or showers are likely to spread erratically southeast from Tuesday, bringing unsettled conditions across all parts by the middle of next week. Unsettled and breezy conditions look likely to predominate in all areas thereafter, with temperatures expected to be close to or just below the seasonal average. The south and southeast is likely to see the best of any drier, brighter spells.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 18 Sep 2012 to Thursday 27 Sep 2012:

Generally unsettled throughout. At first, showers and some longer outbreaks of showery, occasionally heavy rain, will be particularly prevalent towards the north and west of the UK, but increasingly spreading to the east as well by Wednesday, with all these areas likely to experience strong winds at times. The south should see the best of the drier conditions. From late next week, and through the rest of the period, northern and western parts tend to bear the brunt of the wettest and windiest weather, with eastern and southeastern areas probably seeing the best of any longer drier spells. Temperatures will be generally below average, and occasionally rather cold, but perhaps a little above normal at times towards the southeast.
