Long range forecast
Saturday 31 Aug - Monday 9 Sep
High pressure will tend to be located either over or close to the UK through much of this period, leading to a more widely settled period of weather. That said, weak frontal systems could still provide some cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain at times, this most likely in northwestern areas, although any amounts of rain away from the far northwest will be typically small. The best of the drier and brighter conditions, at least initially, will be in more southern and eastern parts. A trend towards very warm or fairly hot conditions, especially in southern areas around the turn of the month, with a chance of a few showers or thunderstorms as a result. Towards the second week of September a trend to more average temperatures is probable.
Updated:
Tuesday 10 Sep - Tuesday 24 Sep
Moving through the second week of September confidence for this settled weather continuing decreases. Instead, it is more likely that there will be a return to a mixture of weather types, with spells of wet weather interspersed with drier periods. By this period it is expected temperatures will have returned to nearer average, perhaps slightly cooler than average in the north or northwest at times.
