As we step into the week ahead, the weather in the United Kingdom promises a diverse array of conditions, keeping us on our toes. From chilly showers to fleeting spells of sunshine, here’s a summary of what to expect over the several days.
The upcoming week in the UK is characterized by a mix of weather patterns, making it a true testament to the country’s notorious variability. Expect fluctuations in temperatures, precipitation, and even the occasional appearance of sunshine, something we didn’t see a great deal of through winter as a whole.
Early Week:
The week begins with milder temperatures but mixed weather, mostly dry by day but wet at night or overnight, this the case for both Monday and Tuesday. The odd shower or two can never be ruled out though through the day. Rain and persistent rain at that, is expected later on Monday, then also later on Tuesday.
Midweek:
Wednesday starts dull and damp in the north as overnight rain lingers in places, becoming more patchy as the morning progresses. Some drier and brighter spells across central and southern parts but hefty showers are likely and these maybe thundery in one or two spots, still mild too. Thursday sees a split across the UK with the north seeing wet and windy weather move in with gales for the northwest. Central and southern England and Wales will remain dry with periods of sunshine mixed with variable cloud, northern England remains dull and across the west, wet at times.
Late Week:
As we progress towards the latter part of the week, we see a more westerly then north-westerly flow develop. Expect further showers or longer spells of rain as weather fronts cross west to east and expect a distinctly chilly feel to weather as the flow changes.
Weekend Outlook:
Over the weekend we see the flow change again to a more northerly flow. This will bring colder air south across the country but through Saturday further spells of rain will be likely, especially across the north and east. Sunday will likely be the better day of the two but showers will continue to be a thorn, affecting north facing locations and down the east of the UK, with these showers perhaps wintry, in particular across higher routes. As ever at this range there will be some aspects of the forecasts may alter slightly.
