UK long range weather forecast

Most likely remaining unsettled throughout the period, with Saturday seeing sunshine and showers. Accompanying this will be some breezy winds in the far north, with a period of more prolonged, organised, rain affecting both there and the far south. Temperatures still a little below average for most, especially in the cloudier south. The north will perhaps be becoming more settled for a time, with the south most likely to see any longer spells of persistent rain. It's likely to be breezy at times, especially around coastal areas, where gales may occur. Temperatures will be near to or slightly below average, with the best of any warmer spells in the southeast, and with the formation of overnight frosts becoming less likely.

Updated:

Confidence remains low for this period, although typical spring weather patterns are most probable, with a mixture of sunny spells and showers for most parts of the UK, especially at first. Overall, the driest and most settled conditions are most probable in the south, with the north generally more unsettled as longer spells of rain and strong winds arrive from the Atlantic at times. Temperatures likely to be around average.
