UK long range weather forecast

Dry, fine, and largely sunny conditions are most likely for the vast majority of the UK for at least the first week of this period (Wednesday until Sunday), as an area of high pressure builds to the north of the UK before settling right across the country and becoming slow moving. This could stay in place right through the period, however beyond the first week there is an increasingly likelihood that conditions could turn wetter and more unsettled as areas of rain, stronger winds, and possibly thunderstorms begin to approach from the west and/or south. Winds will mostly be light otherwise, with daytime temperatures generally above average throughout although there is a chance of some chilly nights in places.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 9 May 2025

Fairly typical weather for the time of year is most likely through this period. Overall, fine and dry weather is more likely to prevail, more particularly towards the south or southeast, although it is likely to be interspersed with occasional spells of rain and showers or thunderstorms for all parts. Overall, temperatures will most likely be near to above average for the time of year.
