Long range forecast
Saturday 17 Jan - Monday 26 Jan
It will likely remain changeable for the UK as a whole through this period. Further areas of low pressure moving in from the Atlantic will tend to dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain for many parts. Wet weather will probably be most prevalent across western areas, though given the potential for low pressure systems to become slow-moving in the vicinity of the UK, heavy rain is possible anywhere at times. Periods of windy weather are also possible at times. There are also likely to be some drier, more settled periods though, mainly towards the east. Temperatures will probably be near normal overall, though the possibility exists for some colder spells in the north and east, with the potential for associated winter hazards.
Tuesday 27 Jan - Tuesday 10 Feb
Changeable conditions are most likely to continue through this period. This means an ongoing likelihood of further spells of rain and windy conditions at times, these perhaps most prevalent in the west, but also there should also be some interludes of drier weather too, these perhaps more likely in the east. Temperatures probably remaining close to average overall, but there is the possibility of colder conditions and associated winter hazards at times, due to higher pressure extending from the north or east. Late in the period, there is currently a hint that a north-south or northwest-southeast split develops, with wetter weather becoming more confined towards the north or northwest and drier conditions developing further south or southeast.
