UK long range weather forecast
Into the start of this period, a continuation of a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers likely dominating across the majority of the UK. Some showers are expected to be heavy and could be accompanied by the odd rumble of thunder. Temperatures likely slightly below normal for the time of year. Breezy in some coastal areas, most likely across the southeast and northwest. Later in the week and through the following weekend, confidence in any dominant weather pattern is low. As such, fairly typical conditions for the UK are most probable, with a mixture of weather types. This means some spells of drier, sunny weather but also some showers or longer spells of rain at times. Temperatures will most likely be close to or slightly below average.
Updated:
There is little sign for any one type of weather pattern to dominate during this period. As such, typical conditions for the UK are most probable with a mixture of weather types. All areas can expected to see some spells of drier, sunnier weather, but there will also be showers or longer spells of rain at times. Currently the only signals, weak as they are, hint that rain and showers will tend to be more biased towards the north and west, with any more prolonged drier interludes favouring the south. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above climatological average.
