Meto Uk Further Outlook

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Friday 18 Apr 2014 to Sunday 27 Apr 2014:

Probably a good deal of dry weather at first, especially for central parts of the UK. It may be cloudier with patchy rain in both the northwest and far south. Northeastern parts are most likely to have the best of the weather through the Easter weekend. Temperatures generally near average and winds mostly light. Current indications then show a gradual change to more unsettled weather across most parts from Easter Monday and into the following week, with cloudier conditions and showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in western areas. Any drier and clearer periods are expected to be limited. It will become windy at times too, with temperatures mainly above average but slightly below under any rain. Confidence in the change to more unsettled weather is currently fairly low.

UK Outlook for Monday 28 Apr 2014 to Monday 12 May 2014:

Overall, there are no strong signals for any particular weather type to dominate during late April and into early May. This leaves conditions more likely than not to be mixed with unsettled spells and showers or longer outbreaks of rain, interspersed with periods of largely fine and dry weather. By day, temperatures are likely to often be near or a little below average, but still feeling pleasant in the sunshine when winds are light. Nights, meanwhile, may be chilly at times with a touch of frost possible.

UK Outlook for Saturday 19 Apr 2014 to Monday 28 Apr 2014:

Largely dry for central and southern parts of the UK on Saturday, but cloudier with some patchy rain towards the northwest. Through the rest of the Easter weekend, it may be northeastern and central areas which see the best of the drier, brighter conditions, with a trend towards more unsettled weather elsewhere. Temperatures still generally near average or rather warm in sunnier sheltered areas. Current indications then show a continuing trend next week towards more unsettled conditions, with more cloud, and showery outbreaks of rain becoming increasingly widespread, but still some periods of drier, brighter weather, these most likely towards the northeast. Temperatures still on the warm side, but feeling cooler under any rain and stronger winds. Confidence in the change to more unsettled weather is currently fairly low.

By day, temperatures are likely to often be near or a little below average, but still feeling pleasant in the sunshine when winds are light.

UK Outlook for Sunday 20 Apr 2014 to Tuesday 29 Apr 2014:

Most likely turning more generally unsettled through the second half of the Easter weekend, as cloudier conditions with outbreaks rain, heavy at times, reach southeast England then move northwestwards across much of the rest of the UK. Brighter conditions follow later, with showers, heavy at times. Breezy in parts of the far north as well as southern coastal counties. Temperatures rather warm in brighter spells and otherwise largely near normal and cooler where there are onshore winds. Conditions then remain on the unsettled side through the rest of next week and onwards into the week after, with showers and some longer spells of rain, interspersed with drier and brighter interludes. Temperatures generally becoming a little below average towards the end of the period, especially in the north.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Apr 2014 to Wednesday 14 May 2014:

There remain no strong, discernable signals for any particular weather type to dominate from the end of April through the first half of May. This leaves conditions more likely than not to be mixed with unsettled spells and showers or longer outbreaks of rain, interspersed with periods of largely fine and dry weather. By day, temperatures are likely to often be near average, though at this time of year this would still leave conditions feeling pleasant in sunshine when winds are light. Southern regions probably have the best chance of above average maxima, whilst some northwestern parts may be slightly below average at times. Nights, meanwhile, may be chilly at times with a touch of frost possible.

UK Outlook for Monday 21 Apr 2014 to Wednesday 30 Apr 2014:

Generally unsettled on Monday with showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times. Best conditions then perhaps most likely in the far northwest, though even here some rain is possible. Quite windy and feeling chilly in the rain. Further showers on Tuesday, though some areas escaping with a drier day than Monday. Conditions for the rest of next week are then likely to remain a little on the unsettled side with some showers or rain at times, but most areas will have brighter periods too. Probably turning a little warmer from mid-week, though sea breezes may keep some northern and eastern areas cooler. Looking ahead to the week after next, signs are that conditions will still be a little on the unsettled side and it may also turn cooler.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 22 Apr 2014 to Thursday 1 May 2014:

 

Generally unsettled on Tuesday with showers or longer spells of rain, possibly heavy at times. The best conditions are most likely in western areas, due to an easterly flow, though some rain is possible here too. Windy in the north and feeling chilly in the rain, also in the wind along eastern coasts. Conditions for the rest of next week are then likely to remain a little on the unsettled side with some showers or rain at times, but most areas will have brighter periods too. Probably turning a little warmer from mid-week, though sea breezes may keep some northern and eastern areas cooler. Looking ahead to the week after next, signs are that conditions will still be a little on the unsettled side and it may also turn cooler.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 23 Apr 2014 to Friday 2 May 2014:

An unsettled start to the period with showers or longer spells of rain in many locations, possibly heavy at times. Some drier, brighter spells too, the best of these in northern and northwestern parts. Windy in the north and feeling chilly in the rain, also in the wind along eastern coasts. However it will feel warm where it remains bright. The rest of next week is likely to remain changeable, especially for southern parts. Most areas will have brighter periods too with it becoming rather warm, though an easterly breeze will tend to keep northern and eastern areas cooler. Into the start of May, signs are that a mixture of sunny spells and periods of rain or showers will continue and it may also turn cooler.

UK Outlook for Thursday 24 Apr 2014 to Saturday 3 May 2014:

An unsettled end to next week with showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, although there will be some drier, brighter spells too, especially in the northwest. Windy in the north initially and then more generally with a risk of gales in the southwest. Chilly in the rain and in the wind along eastern coasts, however it will feel warm where it remains bright. The end of April is likely to remain changeable, especially for southern parts. Brighter periods too, these most lengthy in the north or northwest where it will be driest. Rather warm in brighter spells, though an easterly breeze will tend to keep northern and eastern areas cooler. This pattern is expected to persist into May, but temperatures may decrease with some colder nights possible.

UK Outlook for Monday 28 Apr 2014 to Wednesday 7 May 2014:

Most places will remain unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, although there will be some drier, brighter spells too. It will be breezy at times, particularly in the north. Feeling quite warm at first where it remains bright, but chilly in the rain and in the northeast and it will gradually turn colder from the north with showers in the north turning wintry over high ground. Similar, changeable conditions look likely to persist for the remainder of the week with a continuing downward trend in temperatures, making it feel chilly with an increased risk of frost. Into the following week, perhaps after a drier interlude, the unsettled theme is expected to continue, but with signs that temperatures could recover, perhaps rising above normal.

fits pretty well with the 6-10 day anomaly charts from noaa, ec-gfs at 500mb with all 3 showing contour values below 546dm in channel area at month end with marked upper trough over/just east of the country

[Stuart]

UK Outlook for Tuesday 29 Apr 2014 to Thursday 8 May 2014:

A fairly cloudy picture across much of the UK at first with outbreaks of rain for many, except perhaps the far southeast. Clearer, colder conditions will spread to northern parts late Tuesday and into Wednesday, with some heavy showers giving a risk of snow over high ground in the far north. Later in the week colder conditions and showers will likely spread south to most. It will feel warm in drier, sunny spells, but temperatures will generally be trending downwards to just below average for late April. Through the Bank Holiday weekend there is a signal for more settled conditions to develop, with day time temperatures recovering to average. After Bank Holiday Monday, confidence is currently low but the most likely scenario is a return to more unsettled weather.

UK Outlook for Friday 9 May 2014 to Friday 23 May 2014:

There remains no strong, discernable signals for any particular weather type to dominate through this period. Conditions are most probable to be fairly typical for the time of year, with periods of largely fine and dry weather, interspersed with more unsettled spells with some rain and showers. By day temperatures are most likely to be near average, which at this time of year would leave conditions feeling pleasant in sunshine when winds are light. Where more settled conditions persist, nights may still be chilly with a touch of frost possible early in the month.
