Charts and data from computer models to help you make your own forecast.
The GEFS35 charts don't yet reach the Christmas period.
What do they mean? Blue shading indicates a colder than average air mass, while red indicates a warmer than average one. Therefore, if you're hoping for cold and potentially snowy weather it's blue you want to see over the UK.
Blue shading indicates colder than the 30 year average.
Red shading indicates warmer than the 30 year average.
