UK long range weather forecast

Confidence in the details of the weather pattern at the start of this period is unusually low, although some broad themes are emerging. Most probably an unsettled, and in places breezy period mid-week, with cloud, rain, and possibly thunderstorms in the south slowly clearing away northeastwards. A trend towards a period of more settled, albeit rather cool weather looks most likely by the end of the working week, and into the weekend, before more changeable conditions arrive from the Atlantic thereafter. Northwestern areas would then be more likely to see periods of cloud and rain, whilst southeastern areas would be predominantly dry or at least see lesser amounts of rain. Temperatures are expected to be fairly close to average throughout, although warmer weather in the southeast is possible early on.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 5 Jul 2024

As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is exceptionally low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, but by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled spells are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.

The prevailing Atlantic winds bring moisture and the mountainous terrain of Wales is where vapour condenses and dumps plenty of the wet stuff.

Is the weather better in England or Wales? ›

In general, both regions have warm summers, mild winters and lots of rain. The fact that the West of the UK is so close to the Atlantic Ocean means that it has milder winters. This is because the huge mass of water holds heat better than land and so 'heats' Wales and Western England during the winter.
