WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE UK. from the MET OFFICE Headline: Becoming breezy with rain spreading from west. Feeling cooler. Today: Mainly cloudy and becoming breezy with rain gradually spreading eastwards. Heavy, persistent rain is possible in some northwestern parts. However, the southeast could be bright and fairly warm for a time, perhaps not seeing any significant rain until evening. Cooler. Tonight: Remaining generally cloudy with outbreaks of drizzle and light rain in most areas, and with heavier rain for a time in central and eastern areas. Breezy, especially in the northwest. Wednesday: Generally cloudy with patchy light rain and drizzle at first. Becoming drier across many parts perhaps with some warm sunny spells developing. Staying breezy. Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Some brighter spells on Thursday but with patchy rain and showers. Mainly dry on Friday and Saturday with some warm sunshine, although cloud and rain affecting parts of northwest Britain. UK Outlook for Saturday 6 Jul 2013 to Monday 15 Jul 2013: There is reasonable confidence that high pressure will persist across the UK, giving mostly fine and dry conditions with a mixture of variable cloud and sunshine. Some glancing blows from Atlantic weather fronts are still possible across far northwestern parts, bringing some cloud and rain with cooler and breezier conditions at times, mainly western Scotland and perhaps Northern Ireland. Lighter winds elsewhere with temperatures around or rather above normal at first, but a good chance of increasingly warm temperatures during the course of the following week, especially inland, becoming locally very warm in sunny conditions. There is a chance that isolated late afternoon showers may develop inland with this warmth. There are some signals that the high pressure could possibly ease away to introduce slightly less settled conditions by mid-month. UK Outlook for Tuesday 16 Jul 2013 to Tuesday 30 Jul 2013: There are signals that the dry and settled weather from the first half of the month should continue across most parts of the UK during at least the first half of this period. This means rainfall should be below average, with mainly above-average temperatures and above-average sunshine amounts.
