The coming weekend is likely to be rather cool and showery, particularly so on Saturday although the most frequent showers are likely to be reserved for the northwest of the country. Plenty of dry weather with sunny spells in-between the showers. Into the following week, further cloud and rain bearing weather systems are likely to move across the UK, accompanied by stronger winds at times in the west, continuing the recent changeable theme. However, there are tentative signs that following the early part of next week, conditions may begin to gradually turn a bit more settled, at least for a time. This particularly so across eastern parts, with temperatures more widely trending back up to average and then potentially above average as the week progresses.
Updated:
There has been an emerging trend towards more settled and possibly warmer weather in the run up to this period, which appears to have been brought forward from the middle of the month. This may well continue through to the start of this period with drier conditions a little more likely than normal. However, as we go through the rest of the month, the latest information suggests that a return to cooler and more unsettled weather is now slightly favoured. The forecast signals are all rather weak and conflicting, so confidence in a definitive story at this range can be nothing other than very low.
