UK Outlook for Monday 3 Feb 2014 to Wednesday 12 Feb 2014:

It is likely to remain generally unsettled at first with cloud and rain moving slowly northeastwards across the UK, giving snow on northern hills for a time. Clearer, showery conditions will follow from the west on Tuesday but more persistent rain is expected again later. Often windy with a risk of gales. Temperatures around average and overnight frost and ice. It is likely to stay unsettled for the rest of the week and into the next, with spells of wet weather interspersed with colder, clearer and more showery conditions. Sleet and snow remain a risk, especially in hillier areas, and it will often be windy with further gales at times. Temperatures will be close to or slightly below average, with a continuing risk of ice and frost by night.

Looks like staying on the cool side

Plenty of pm influence in there albeit from a long sea track. Probably testimony to how cold the sea to our far west has become after continuous bitter outbreaks from Canada

Good news for the Scottish mountains but irrelevent for us lowlanders down here.....apart from flood risk

UK Outlook for Thursday 13 Feb 2014 to Thursday 27 Feb 2014:

Current indications point towards early February's changeable conditions persisting through the rest of the month. The most likely scenario during this period would see northwestern parts of the UK affected by the most frequent spells of unsettled and windy weather. Meanwhile southern and eastern regions will tend to see the longer spells of drier and brighter weather, especially later in the month. Some colder periods are possible, particularly between the weather systems. This would mean that temperatures are likely to remain close to the seasonal average, with frost and ice possible by night.

Seem confident of the unsettled theme throughout Feb

UK floods: January rain breaks records in parts of England

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25944823

No surprise to see much of Hampshire (including me, just about) in the >225% zone on that map.

Strange how far NW Scotland has been so relatively dry, though - I'd have thought these systems have been big enough to soak everyone!

Oxfordshire in the high bracket also , again no surprise

Blimey , had one imagine had that all been snow in a USA style freeze

I see that the Daily Excess is at it again: http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/456975/Storm-Brigid-rages-towards-Britain-bringing-150MPH-KILLER-winds-heavy-rain-and-SNOW 

To be fair 150mph gusts are possible on the higher peaks of the, errr, Scottish mountains.

I can't believe I just said that

UK Outlook for Saturday 15 Feb 2014 to Saturday 1 Mar 2014:

Current indications point towards Easterly winds from Europe finally making an appearence , the last week of February looks as though it will finally deliver winter to some parts of the United Kingdom. As always Eastern parts of the Uk will take the brunt of any snow and ice that is likely to be delivered. Temperatures look set to struggle above freezing during daytime and fall into the severe category at nightime. As ever at this range detail is sketchy and will be firmed up as the time draws closer.

UK outlook looks crap

This is getting out of hand now, the daily express gives the weather industry a bad name publishing all its bulltulipstories all the time. 

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/443462/Winter-2013-expected-to-be-worst-since-1947-with-heavy-and-persistent-snow-forecast-for-UK

Do these people who work at the paper do not feel ashamed to be there ??

never read so much rubbish in my life before !!

where is the press regulator ???

It's not getting out of hand, it's just the way it's always been and will always be.

Transpose the meteorlogical inacurracies into the realms of politics, economics and society that these organs proport to accurately report as well then you will find similar factual atrocities.

UK Outlook for Thursday 6 Feb 2014 to Saturday 15 Feb 2014:

Sunny spells and showers through Thursday; perhaps heavy and prolonged in the north where there will be gales. It will remain unsettled into Friday with the potential for another spell of very wet and windy weather, particularly in the south. Temperatures mainly near normal or slightly above, but colder in the north with risk of frost and ice where skies clear overnight. Remaining very disturbed during the weekend and through the following week with further showers or longer spells of rain, occasionally heavy, still with a risk of hill snow in the north. The best of the drier and brighter interludes will be in the east and southeast. Temperatures generally rather mild in the south, and near normal in the north with the risk of overnight frost and ice.

I don't recall seeing the 'very disturbed ' bit

Still looks awful all the same
