UK 5 day weather forecast
-------------------------
### Thursday 6 Mar - Monday 10 Mar
#### Headline:
Mild, but more changeable as we head into the weekend.
#### Today:
Scotland and Northern Ireland will be rather cloudy with patchy rain. England and Wales will be sunny after early fog in the south, though increasing cloud will bring showers into the west and southwest later. Breezy but mild once again.
#### Tonight:
Cloud continues to spill across from the west, bringing scattered, sometimes heavy showers to western parts this evening and overnight. Some dry spells too, and much milder than recent nights.
#### Friday:
Mainly cloudy with scattered showers spreading slowly northwards, these heavy at times. Generally light winds and staying mild, despite the cloud and showers. Brightest in the north.
#### Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
A more changeable weather pattern is expected with all areas seeing some spells of sunshine, though with showers developing at times too. Warm in sunshine, and mostly frost-free. Often breezy.

UK long range weather forecast
------------------------------
### Monday 10 Mar - Wednesday 19 Mar
Cloudy with outbreaks of rain in places on Monday, the rain easing and clearing southwards during the course of the day. Clearer weather with sunny spells and a few coastal showers will follow from the north. These clearer conditions will become established across the whole of the UK by Tuesday as high pressure builds from the northwest. This will lead to fine and dry conditions for many through the rest of next week, although a few showers are likely along coasts. Temperatures will likely be below normal. Through the following weekend and into the week after, conditions may slowly become milder and more changeable with some unsettled spells bringing periods of rain and strong winds.
Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Wed 5 Mar 2025
### Thursday 20 Mar - Thursday 3 Apr
Confidence is low, but through the remainder of March changeable weather patterns are most likely. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to drier and more settled weather. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
