East or southeasterly winds are likely at the start of this period. This maintaining below average temperatures and often cloudy conditions. There is a chance of colder conditions developing which would see an increase in wintry showers, especially in eastern and northeastern parts of the country. Meanwhile, Atlantic frontal zones, bringing milder conditions and rain, will attempt to move in from the west or southwest. Early in this period these look likely to have limited influence over the UK though should they push further northeastwards this would increase the chance of snow for some areas. The balance between colder easterly winds and milder, wetter southwesterly winds remains unclear during mid-February though towards the end of this period, less cold conditions become more likely.

An unsettled theme will probably have become established by this time, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK from the Atlantic. This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes. Temperatures are most likely to be close to average overall.
