Updated: 1105 on Sun 12 Oct 2008 UK Outlook for Friday 17 Oct 2008 to Sunday 26 Oct 2008:A broadly westerly flow is expected throughout with low pressure often near northern areas. Moderate to high confidence for this rather changeable pattern to persist, making day to day detail difficult to predict. It will be often unsettled and windy, but especially in the north, as rain, showers and strong to gale force northwesterly winds extend southeastwards from time to time. This unsettled type will continue in northern and central areas of Britain, but with the liklihood that southern and southeastern Britain sees occasionally drier and less windy conditions coming along now and again. Temperatures, typically near normal in the south and east at first, will tend towards normal to a little below normal everywhere. Updated: 1141 on Sun 12 Oct 2008 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.
