UK long range weather forecast
After a dry start for many on Thursday, a band of rain is expected to push eastwards to affect much of the country. It will feel cool and damp for many, especially across hills in southern and central areas. On Friday and over the weekend, the weather will likely become a mix of sunshine and showers. During the daytime on each day, showers could become heavy and slow moving, and there is a chance these might turn thundery at times. However, not everywhere will catch a shower, and many places may hold on to warm, sunny days with light winds. Next week, confidence for dominant weather regimes is low. There are tentative signs of building high pressure from the west, but rain and showers are still possible.
Updated:
Signals are inconclusive regarding prevailing weather patterns during this period. 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. Temperatures are most likely to be close to, or above, climatological average.
