UK Outlook for Wednesday 9 Jul 2008 to Friday 18 Jul 2008:

Rain, heavy at times, will spread northeastwards across the United Kingdom during Wednesday and Thursday, although the rain will clear to showers in the south and west later. Then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday conditions will remain generally unsettled with either showers or longer spells of rain at times, although there will also be some drier and brighter intervals in between with some sunshine. Then as we head through the following week the weather is expected to gradually become more settled, especially in southern and eastern areas where it will become mainly dry and bright. However further north and west there are likely to be further showers or spells of rain at times. Temperatures will be generally near normal, although it will become warm at times in any sunnier conditions.

Seasonal forecasting:

Seasonal forecasting is a developing area of meteorology and, although these forecasts are not as accurate as our short-term forecasts, they do demonstrate some skill in predicting what may happen for a season (a three-month period) ahead.

The forecasts provide an estimation of broad trends in temperature and rainfall and will normally be expressed in probabilistic terms, with the more likely outcome highlighted. Information contained in these forecasts can allow business to plan ahead for weather that is forecast to be different from normal.
