UK long range weather forecast
Likely mild at the start of this period and feeling warm in any sunny spells. However, conditions will be fairly changeable with a chance of showers or longer spells of rain across all areas, these more likely, at least at first, in the west. How weather patterns evolve during the following week is unclear but there is an increased chance that high pressure will become more dominant for a time from the north. This would result in a good deal of dry weather but also lead to a downturn in temperatures with a low chance of a colder spell and wintry hazards. Low confidence by the end of the period but with an increasing chance of milder but more unsettled conditions developing again.
Updated:
Confidence is low in prevailing weather patterns through this period. There is likely to be a mixture of unsettled and settled spells with unsettled slightly favoured initially and settled slightly more probable later. As is typical, parts of the west and northwest will probably be wetter overall with drier conditions in the southeast. Above average temperatures are more likely than below though some colder spells remain possible during late March.
