What’s the long-term outlook?

The Met Office has released its long-term outlook for the UK, for Tuesday September 20-Thursday September 27.

It says: “Dry for most with sunny spells at the start of this period though perhaps cloudier than previous days, especially in the east and parts of the northwest where occasional showers and a few light showers are possible respectively.

"Winds generally light but still a little fresher in northwestern areas.

"Temperatures rather cool initially but should return closer to average through the week.

"Mid-week, a band of thicker cloud and light rain may spread across northern and northwestern parts and then possibly edge slowly southeastwards, weakening as it does so.

"Wetter and windier conditions are likely at times in the northwest for the remainder of the period whilst the southeast sees more in the way of dry weather.

"Overnight mist and fog patches possible throughout but these should clear quickly.”
