UK long range weather forecast

Changeable and at times unsettled, with weather systems spreading in from the Atlantic. These will bring spells of rain, heavy at times, together with a risk of strong winds or gales. Between systems it will be drier and brighter with some sunshine, but also with a few showers in places. Further into the period there is a chance that the weather patterns could become more slowly evolving for a time. This may lead to more in the way of settled weather, especially in the east, but this is uncertain. Temperatures may be slightly below normal at first, but are likely to rise above average later.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Tue 20 Oct 2026

There may be a slowly evolving weather pattern at first, which could lead to more in the way of drier and brighter conditions, especially in the east. Into mid-November it is likely that changeable and at times unsettled weather patterns will become increasingly prevalent. These probably take the form of weather systems spreading in from the Atlantic bringing spells of rain, heavy at times (especially in the west), together with a risk of strong winds or gales. Between systems it will be drier and brighter with some sunshine, but also with a few showers in places. Temperatures are likely to be near to or above average overall.
