The 14 day UK weather forecast is issued twice weekly. Update Sunday 19th February 2012
Week 1The first half of the week will see milder weather returning to all parts of the country, and there will be some rain around, though most of this is likely to be in the north and west. During the second half of the week it is expected to become even milder, with temperatures possibly reaching 17C or even 18C in one or two locations on Thursday or Friday if cloud breaks sufficiently. By the end of the week temperatures will probably fall back as a weakening band of rain gradually pushes east. Forecast confidence is moderate to high.
Week 2A good deal of dry weather is likely, especially in the south and east. In the north and west it may be less settled at times with some outbreaks of rain. Temperatures are likely to be mostly above the seasonal average, and possibly very mild at times in the south. Forecast confidence is moderate.
OverviewHigh pressure is expected to remain close to or just south of the UK for much of the forecast period, with the jet stream heading further north. At times the synoptics look favourable for pulling up some very mild air across the country giving an early taste of spring . Confidence on the evolution is moderate.
