Wintry showers continue Friday before turning largely dry with sunny spells Saturday. A band of rain and hill snow spreads eastwards Sunday. Northerly winds turn southerly before becoming strong Sunday.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Wed 11 Feb 2026

UK long range weather forecast

Showers or longer spells of rain are expected as Atlantic low pressure systems dominate in the vicinity of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely in places, probably focussed on western hills, with some snow at times in the north, mainly on high ground. Strong winds are possible at times, especially around coasts. Temperatures will probably be near normal. Later in the period, there is a chance that drier, more settled conditions may begin to develop.
