UK Outlook for Monday 3 Sep 2018 to Wednesday 12 Sep 2018:

On Monday and Tuesday a slow moving band of cloud and increasingly patchy rain is likely to lie across UK. Away from this, it should be dry with variable cloud and some long sunny spells, although outbreaks of rain may affect the far north later. Temperatures will be warm, possibly very warm in the south and east, but closer to normal elsewhere. Through the rest of the period more settled conditions are likely to become established, with a good deal of dry weather, and increasing sunshine. However, the far north and west may still occasionally be windy, with some rain at times. There will be some warm days, especially in the southeast, but there may be some chilly nights, with an increasing risk of fog.

UK Outlook for Thursday 13 Sep 2018 to Thursday 27 Sep 2018:

Throughout this forecast period it seems most likely that the weather pattern will change only slowly, and this will maintain a good deal of dry, warm and settled weather, although there may be some brief spells of more changeable conditions. Northern and western areas are most likely to have occasionally wet and windy spells, but these are likely to be short-lived, with some more settled interludes at times here too. Daytime temperatures are expected to be above average overall, with some warm days in the across the south and east, and with the warmer conditions perhaps spreading further north and west at times. However, as the nights lengthen through September, any longer clear nights may lead to some quite low overnight temperatures, with an accompanying risk of patchy fog.

Must resist clicking! This rubbish spreads throughout offices all across the UK and people believe it, that's the worrying thing. Then when it doesn't happen, the Met Office get blamed.

Don't need to give the Express more Publicity do we!?

Pause and play from around 02:10? is this true re Scotland? -2c?

Something else I have found out here, re the above video about early snow: - News never reported this neither did the BBC weather forecasters! etc

http://www.euronews.com/2018/08/27/watch-snow-hits-parts-of-italy-and-austria

But that's so rare to see so much and so early!?

We went from Winter to summer in 3 weeks here in the UK March daytime of -1 or -2c even on 18th March and then maxes of +3c on 30th March 2018, then less than 3 weeks later in April we hit 26c in the south east and 25c in the South west of UK?! - We never had the norm spring or April showers did we?

I wonder if we could go from summer to winter in 3 weeks!? hmm...! Heck no but anything can happen ...given solar minimum approaching so soon!?

I know we obsess about the CET on this forum, but it was officially the hottest summer ever for England as a whole. A much more important stat. Joint hottest for UK  as well.

I think so yes but will need to check the details. It is cold but in no way exceptional for August.

How do they arrive at that conclusion when the cet clearly proves it was 5th in the cet series? If indeed summer 2018 was hotter than 1976 it will show the cet is seriously flawed and does not represent an accurate  picture.

Higher nighttime temperatures were they key in the England stat it would seem when compared to earlier years.

The CET is only 3 stations though nowhere near all of England.  The only thing it has going for it really is that it goes back to 1659 so is historically very important. 

BRITONS should make the most of the sunshine over the next few days with torrential rain and strong winds about to blow summer away.

UK Outlook for Saturday 8 Sep 2018 to Monday 17 Sep 2018:

It will be an unsettled start to this period, with low pressure dominating through the weekend. There will be showers or longer spells of rain, particularly for central and northern areas, with somewhat drier and brighter conditions across the south. Windy and rather cool at first but winds will tend to ease by Sunday, with warmer conditions developing for some. It should turn more settled across central and southern areas through next week, with increasing amounts of dry and fine weather. More unsettled weather will affect the northwest at times, with spells of heavy rain and strong winds. Warm for many and perhaps turning very warm in the south and east. However, under clear spells, there could be some chilly nights with the risk of morning fog patches.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 18 Sep 2018 to Tuesday 2 Oct 2018:

During the second half of September indications are that there will a good deal of dry and warm weather around, especially in the southeast. However, spells of more changeable weather are likely as the month progresses. Daytime temperatures are expected to be above average overall, with some warm days across the south and east at the start of the period, and with the warmer weather spreading further north and west at times. However, as the nights lengthen through September, longer clear nights will lead to some low overnight temperatures, with an accompanying risk of patchy fog across the UK, and frost in the north.

"BITTER winds and sub-zero temperatures threaten to plunge Britain into an early winter freeze amid predictions Arctic misery will grip the nation WITHIN WEEKS.

A dramatic change in the weather is forecast to set in during the second half of October prompting warnings to wrap up for a bone-numbing end to 2018.

Climatic anomalies associated with colder than normal UK winter weather appear to be building across the globe.

Solar activity forecasts point towards the sun entering a period of reduced output during winter 2018/19 – a so-called solar minimum.

An El Nino warming of the eastern Pacific could also become established by the end of the year while fluctuating sea temperatures around Britain also threaten to drive a trend towards cold weather.

Exacta Weather’s James Madden said the current unusually warm weather should largely hold out until the end of next month before temperatures plummet."
