....................Met Office - Longer Range
Forecast, for the entire UK Met Office.:
......Monday 16 Nov - Wednesday 25 Nov
Following the tail end of the colder, more settled conditions seen over the weekend, a marked transition to more changeable conditions is expected at the start of the period. This will allow areas of low pressure to move in from the Atlantic and bring bands of rain and periods of windy weather. There will be some brighter, showery spells in-between however, particularly in the north. Overall, this period is likely to be wetter than average for the majority of the country. And whilst colder conditions will be possible at times, it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average for the time of year.
Thursday 26 Nov - Thursday 10 Dec
Changeable or unsettled conditions are expected initially, with Atlantic weather systems bringing spells of rain and strong winds at times, interspersed with brighter, showery periods. Through late-November, low pressure may become slower-moving to the west of the UK, potentially bringing more prolonged rainfall, particularly to southern and western areas, along with a continued risk of strong winds. Into December, confidence becomes low, but there is a possibility that low pressure tracks shift further south as high pressure builds to the north. This could bring further rain at times to central and southern areas, while northern parts become somewhat drier. Temperatures will probably be near or slightly above average in the south, with an increasing chance of colder conditions extending southwards from the north into December....
