Met Office long-range UK forecast
Wednesday, February 12 to Friday, February 21
High pressure is expected to be slow moving and centred to the northeast of the UK at the start of this period. As a result, east or southeasterly winds will dominate, these bringing below-normal temperatures across the UK from mainland Europe. Some rain and hill snow is likely at times, particularly across the east of the UK, with the best of any sunny periods probably in the west. It will be breezy around coasts, but the risk of any very strong winds is low. During the second half of this period, a change to milder and more unsettled conditions will probably begin to occur. Exactly how this manifests is uncertain, but there will be an increasing chance of rain and strong winds spreading from the Atlantic across the UK.
