UK Weather Update

Dry, Warm and Sunny

The summery weather will continue this week across nearly all parts of the UK with clear skies and temperatures in the high teens or low twenties. However, places along the edge of the East coast may see low cloud and fog at times resulting in temperatures not getting above 8c.

Today will be starting chilly, with areas of mist and fog mainly affecting eastern England and the Scottish Lowlands. It will soon become fine across the UK, with many seeing unbroken warm sunshine, with the northeast in particular again becoming exceptionally warm. Temperatures 17-22c

Tonight:

Dry and clear overnight, allowing the temperature to fall away once more to give a slight frost in places. Further fog patches may form in eastern England by dawn.

Tuesday:

Any early fog will soon clear to give another warm, dry and sunny day. It may feel a little cooler in parts of the southwest, with brisk easterly winds. Temperatures 17-22c

Wednesday to Friday:

Dry and fine conditions and warm sunshine until Friday but these will gradually be replaced from the north by cooler and more cloudier weather, with an increasing chance of light rain in the far north. Still some sunny spells in the south towards the weekend but more cloud and feeling cooler with a fresh NW wind. Temperatures 17-22c Wednesday and Thursday 10-16c Friday

Maximum temperatures of 10 to 15c.

Thursday 

Most places will be dry today, but once again across southwest England and southern Wales there may be patchy spells of rain in the morning and in the afternoon, but where the rain will be is currently uncertain so some may get a damp day but others staying dry. Best of any sunshine today is likely to be across Scotland and north east England again. Maximum temperatures of 11 to 16c

Any rain will tend to fade away but Wales could see a few showers in the afternoon. Dry across all of England with sunny spells. Showers will fade away this evening and where any lengthy clear spells occur, we could see a slight frost. Maximum temperatures of 11 to 16c.

UK Weather Update

Becoming, cooler and more unsettled this week but high pressure returning again as next week progresses

The weekend looks to turn more unsettled and it will feel cooler with spells of rain at times. 

Today, Rain across Northern Ireland and Scotland reaching western Wales and parts of northern England by evening. Otherwise a cloudy start but turning brighter with some sunny spells developing. Also becoming drier and brighter across the northwest later. Tonight, Rain spreading to much of England and Wales, although some central and southeastern parts staying dry. Scotland and Northern Ireland largely dry and chilly, although showers possible in the northwest.

Saturday:

Outbreaks of rain across England and Wales gradually clearing eastwards through the day. Cooler conditions, with a mixture of sunshine and occasionally heavy showers following from the north and west.

Outlook till tuesday

A mix of sunshine and showers on Sunday. Mostly fine Monday after a chilly start, although rain likely in the northwest and this will gradually spread southeast through Tuesday. 

Tuesday onwards

High pressure then rebuilds in across the country as next week progresses with much of the country dry and settled. With an easterly/south easterly wind set to develop, western parts of the country may have the best of the sunshine this time with cloudier conditions in the East. Light winds will return and so will the mild temperatures and feeling very pleasant in any sunshine.

Have a good weekend,

Matthew

UK Weather Update

High Pressure to dominate from the weekend through to the end of next week.

The weather over the next few days and next week continues to be dominated by high pressure so rainfall does look unlikely with plenty of dry weather. The high pressure will continue to build from the south and this should allow some warm temperatures for the time of year, with 17C possible in many areas. Today, some rain to the north and west at times, overcast but mainly dry weather further south and east. Tomorrow, another mainly cloudy day but the cloud will break in places allowing sunny spells to develop and it will feel pleasantly warm where any sunshine does develop. For next week, sunshine amounts are uncertain at the moment but there does look to be a good amount of sunshine for many places during next week with light winds. So plenty of dry and sunny weather for most of us to enjoy next week but it may turn more unsettled during next weekend and cooler but this may change of course.


Have a good weekend,
Matthew

UK Weather Update

Heavy rain and even some Heavy snow today.

Heavy rain will fall across much of the country today and finally some good news for East and South East England who are still currently in a drought. The band of heavy rain will give the UK drought areas welcome rain with 15-25mm widely, and locally 40mm but perhaps less rain in Kent and Essex. Also, As this rain band pushes eastwards, there is a risk of it turning to sleet and wet snow.  


The metoffice has also issued a Yellow severe weather warning for Snow for some areas. The map for this is below however other areas that aren't in the yellow warning may also see rain turn to snow but settling snow will be limited to high ground.

Tomorrow, southeast may again see rain, sleet and even some wet snow as well as strong winds during the morning and quite cold here through the day too and Rain should finally clear eastern coasts in the afternoon. A nice day for the rest of England and Wales with good spells of sunshine although some showers for the north and west of Scotland but these tending to be isolated. Highs at 2-4C in any rain in the east, 5-8c in the N & W. 

So don't be surprised to see rain turning to snow today and it will be a cold one, especially compared to late. I'll have the weather for the week ahead later.

UK Weather Update

Colder weekend and maybe some much needed rainfall for some areas.
The current mild weather will be replaced by a lot colder conditions over the weekend with most places also seeing some rain on Sunday. This is due to an area of low pressure moving west to east over the south of the UK which should lead to some much needed heavy rain to southern parts. Even at this short range, the models are still uncertain about the track of this low and it’s possible the main band of rain will miss the UK but also if the GFS is correct, then on some northern edges of the band of precipitation, colder air will be present and this could lead to the rain turning to sleet and wet snow. 


GFS Model is showing a deeper low moving east on Sunday bringing heavy rain and quite strong winds with colder conditions following behind.

Saturday:
A cooler and windier day for much of the country with outbreaks of rain at times. Dry and bright in the East in the morning but mainly cloudy elsewhere with patchy rain moving eastwards. By the afternoon this will have cleared most areas with bright and colder conditions following but some blustery showers aswell and these may be wintry in  parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland later on. Windy in the north and west with Max temperatures of 8c in the north and 12c in the south but turning colder once the rain has cleared.

Showers continuing tonight in western and northern areas but dry and partly cloudy elsewhere. Rain arriving into southwestern parts and N.I by early morning. Lows of 4-6c

Sunday:

Still some uncertainty on Sunday and this will affect Monday and Tuesday aswell as the track of the low is still uncertain however it looks like it will turn windy in the South as outbreaks of heavy rain spread east across all parts through the morning. Rain will continue through the afternoon and into the evening and maybe even turning wintry on its Northern edge as colder air moves in. Wintry showers continuing in the north. Colder with Max temperatures of 4-8c.

Early next week should start mainly fine and dry as Sundays rain clears eventually on Monday leaving mainly dry conditions with bright spells and winds becoming lighter and maybe touch of frost at night. A colder day with Max temps of 4-7c. Turning wet and windy from the northwest late Tuesday. 

So a change to a lot colder weather this weekend and early next week and maybe some unsettled weather aswell on Sunday but will it last? I'll have the weather for the week ahead later on this weekend.

Have a good weekend,
Matthew
