UK Outlook for Wednesday 10 Dec 2008 to Friday 19 Dec 2008:

Much of the UK should be fine, dry and sunny although rather cold on Wednesday, but cloud and outbreaks of light rain will affect the northwest. Those damp conditions are expected to spread southeastwards across the rest of the country during Wednesday night and Thursday with temperatures rising to around normal. Towards the end of next week, a generally westerly flow is expected to bring showers and spells of rain across all parts, with the driest and clearest conditions most likely in the south and east. Some heavy rain is likely over exposed western areas. During the following week, current indications are for the westerly flow to continue bringing spells of rain eastwards, with the best of any dry, sunny spells over southern and eastern England, but temperatures around normal.

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.
