The long range weather forecast for the UK points to a changeable pattern through the next 30 days, with near‑average temperatures and occasional rain, though no prolonged settled spell is expected across the country.
What does the 30‑day outlook show for your area?
The live forecast above gives the immediate outlook, but the extended picture for the next month leans towards Atlantic influences, bringing bands of rain especially to northern and western regions.
- Southern England and London: driest relative to the north, with occasional dry interludes; temperatures close to the March average.
- Northern England and Scotland: more frequent rain or showers, particularly in the west, with hill snow on northern hills at times.
- Midlands and Wales: a mix of sunny spells and rain bands; no signal for prolonged cold or heat.
- The 30‑day trend is not a day‑by‑day breakdown — rather a broad indication of the prevailing weather type.
How far ahead can forecasters reliably predict?
Confidence in any long range weather forecast drops sharply after about 7–10 days, and a 30‑day outlook is best used to gauge general tendencies rather than specific conditions.
- The Met Office’s long range forecast (14‑30 days) is updated daily and uses ensemble models to show the most likely outcome.
- BBC’s long range outlook uses similar data and is a good second source for cross‑checking.

How accurate is a 30‑day weather forecast?

Yes, the Met Office offers a long range weather forecast covering 14 to 30 days ahead, updated daily. It is often referred to as a “long range weather forecast 30 days” by users, and is one of the best long range weather forecast UK sources.
