Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Tuesday 13 Mar 2018 to Thursday 22 Mar 2018:
It will be fairly unsettled through next week, with outbreaks of rain at times, heaviest in the west and southwest of the UK where gales are possible too. There is a risk of snow over northern hills, but temperatures will be around normal for the time of year with frost and fog possible overnight. The unsettled conditions will remain through the rest of the period, with further spells of rain, interspersed with brighter and showery interludes. There is a risk it could turn colder again with a greater chance of overnight frosts for all, but snow will mainly be confined to the north of the UK, and will mainly be falling across the hills and high ground, with outbreaks of rain more likely in the south.
UK Outlook for Friday 23 Mar 2018 to Friday 6 Apr 2018:
There is a lot of uncertainty in this period, and the forecast may change nearer the time. It will probably be unsettled and rather cold with rain or showers for many, and the risk of snow at times, mainly in the north. It may then stay unsettled and become milder, with westerly or southwesterly winds. This is likely to bring wetter conditions in the northwest and drier conditions in the southeast. Temperatures will generally be around the average for the end of March and into early April. However, there remains a small chance that drier and colder conditions could still affect the UK at times.
