Met Office Weekend Weather Forecast: A Change from This Week's Unsettled Conditions

After a week marked by persistent rain, particularly in the west and southwest, the UK can expect a weekend offering a brief but welcome break from recent unsettled weather. While not fully stable, conditions will improve for many areas, bringing drier intervals and sunny spells.

Changing Weather Systems

Low pressure continues to influence the UK’s weather, but its pattern is shifting. Forecasts suggest these systems will move through faster than earlier in the week, with winds turning from south-westerly to westerly.

“This change means the weather will remain somewhat unsettled, but with less persistent rain and cooler temperatures compared to earlier in the week.”

The wettest conditions will now push in waves from the west instead of the southwest. This allows for breaks between showers and some brighter intervals.

Regional Outlook

Summary

This weekend will bring a noticeable improvement across much of the UK, featuring drier, cooler, and brighter weather—though brief before unsettled conditions return.

Author’s summary: A short-lived improvement brings drier and brighter spells to much of the UK, especially in the east, before wet weather returns.
