- UK long range weather forecast
Sunday, Aug 4 – Tuesday, Aug 13
Low pressure is likely to broadly remain close to northwest Scotland through much of this period, with occasional spells of rain spreading southeastwards across the UK, perhaps somewhat erratically due to frontal waves slowing its progress while also occasionally pepping the rain up in places.
Between these periods of rain, occasional ridging into southern areas will provide some dry and bright conditions, with showers likely continuing in the northwest where it may also be rather breezy or windy at times.
Temperatures overall are likely to be close to or just slightly below the average for early August, however there is the chance of some rather warm conditions developing in parts of the south and east periodically.
Wednesday, Aug 14 – Wednesday, Aug 28
No single weather type is expected to dominate through this period. #
Periods of dry, settled weather will probably alternate with some wetter, cloudier interludes at times.
The wettest conditions will likely be in the northwest, with the southeast tending to be driest.
Through the period as a whole, warmer than average conditions are most likely, perhaps with some hot spells in the southeast, but occasional cooler periods are also possible, especially in the northwest.
