A split in weather conditions is likely across the country for the start of spring. Northwestern areas will likely see spells of rain and stronger winds as Atlantic weather systems arrive from the west. Spells of wet and windy weather will move southeast to some degree across the country at times. However, high pressure is likely to have more influence across the south of the country, at least at first. Here, there should be a good deal of fine/dry weather during early March with a chance of night frosts and morning fog patches. Through the course of this period the chance of unsettled conditions becoming more dominant across the country increases. Temperatures generally around average, though with milder interludes likely.

The weather across the UK is likely to be dominated by winds from the west. This bringing occasional spells of wet and windy weather as Atlantic weather systems move across the country. The wettest and windiest conditions likely across the northwest of the UK. Through mid-March, southern parts of the UK have the greatest chance of high pressure bringing more settled spells. Towards late March, the chance of settled spells developing more widely increases though changeable conditions remain most probable. Temperatures overall around or above average, though some short-lived colder spells remain possible.
