The longest day is almost upon us, and that means one thing - itll be downhill to Winter.

Early indications are it might get offmto a proper wintry start...

The long-range UK winter forecast for 2025-26 suggests a generally changeable weather pattern with potential for both milder and colder periods, and potentially more frequent rain in the northwest. Early indications suggest a likelihood of some tight days in early December or mid-January, according to the National Energy System Operator (NESO).

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• General Pattern:
  Expect a mix of weather conditions, with the northwest experiencing more frequent rain and wind, while the south and east might see longer, drier spells due to higher pressure, Met Office.
  
  
• Temperature:
  The National Energy System Operator (NESO) suggests there will be enough operational surplus to handle natural weather variations, though early December and mid-January may be tight.
  
  
• Precipitation:
  The northwest is likely to see more rain, while the south and east might experience drier conditions for longer periods, Met Office.
  
  
• Potential Cold Spells:
  Some forecasts suggest a colder start to winter with wintry showers, ice, and frost, particularly in the new year.
  
  
• La Niña Influence:
  El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a factor in long-range weather forecasts. While Climate.gov predicts a 66% chance of a switch to neutral in March-May, there could still be lingering effects on the winter weather patterns.
  
  
• Weakening Polar Vortex:
  Some early data suggests a weakening polar vortex, which could bring colder air from the north into the UK.

Great. Can you be a little bit more specific?
Met office: with the northwest experiencing more frequent rain and wind,

So it's going to be horrible in Manchester. How very interesting. Anything else?
Met office: while the south and east might see longer, drier spells

So the south-east will be less horrible than Manchester. Extremely enlightening, thanks Met Office.
