The Met Office’s long range weather forecast, for February, reads: “It is most likely that high pressure to the east or northeast of the UK will dominate at first in some form or another, but there is a weak signal for a more unsettled spell in the second half of the month, before signals become indistinguishable from climatology by the start of March.
"If a more easterly flow develops, a spell of much colder conditions could develop across the UK, with a risk of wintry showers in some parts.
