Welcome to the February weather forecast for the United Kingdom.
During the first month of twenty-twenty-three, we have mainly seen mild weather across the United Kingdom. Without extreme cold and heavy wintry showers. Daily temperatures in many locations even reached double-digit figures. Everyone is wondering whether mild conditions will linger into February. Or there will be a lot of snow and freezing temperatures? We will try to answer all these questions.
According to BBC weather, February weather is expected to be rather changeable, mostly mild, but with a few chillier periods, especially in the northern parts. Occasional frontal rain should come as no surprise. However, high pressure will keep the southern UK drier. Around mid-February, it could get drier and chillier. Current forecasts do not exclude a colder set-up in late February. Now, let's take a closer look at how the winter weather could possibly change during the upcoming month.
Wednesday, the first of February - Sunday, the fifth of February.
During early February, a changeable but mild pattern, with light rain across the UK. Showers will slowly move through the northern areas, while the south is more likely to stay dry with some sunny spells. Strong winds could affect northern Scotland. In general, temperatures will still be above average.
Monday, the sixth of February - Sunday, the twelfth of February.
Regarding the week after next, high pressure is most likely to slip away but still keep some influence. As a result, low-pressure systems will possibly bring rainy and windy weather to northern and western areas. Temperatures are expected to remain near to or slightly above average. Despite that, clearer conditions are hiding the risk of overnight fog and frost for the south.
Monday, the thirteenth of February - Sunday, the nineteenth of February.
While uncertain, around mid-February high pressure could expand back from the south, leading to a dry period. But as we move to the northern parts of the UK, unsettled conditions are going to dominate. With a chance of a few wintry showers. Temperatures are most likely to be around average during this period.
Monday, the twentieth of February - Tuesday, the twenty-eighth of February.
If we speak about the end of February, developments are still unclear at the moment. For now, no sign of any deep and lasting cold, but it could easily get frosty during late February.
