..Met
Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK Met Office.:
.... Sunday 19 Jan -
Tuesday 28 Jan
This period is expected to see a transition, possibly lasting over several
days, between the settled, dry, and often dull conditions expected over the
next few days, to something more unsettled. Sunday itself is likely to be
rather cloudy and cool, with outbreaks of rain in the west drifting slowly
eastwards. The start of the following week will most likely see more settled
conditions with light winds becoming re-established, with a chance of rain
in both the far north and the far south, and a smaller chance that the rain
could become more widespread. Later in the week, periods of much wetter and
windier weather will most likely become more prevalent, from northwest to
southeast, alternatively there is a very small chance of colder, drier, but
perhaps wintry, easterly winds.
Wednesday 29 Jan - Wednesday 12 Feb
A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely through this period,
resulting in an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is
likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting
most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and
windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the
potential for brief colder spells with associated frost, ice and snow
remains, following any deep lows crossing the region........................................
