The coming summer is expected to be a 'typical British summer', according to long-range forecasts issued today. Summer temperatures across the UK are more likely to be warmer than average and rainfall near or above average for the three months of summer.
However, the risk of exceptional rainfall on the same scale as the summer of last year remains a very low probability. The Met Office is continuing to work with the Environment Agency, SEPA and others across government to ensure that we are ready to meet the challenges that severe weather may present us at any time of the year.
Government Services Director at the Met Office, Rob Varley said: "Our long-range forecasts are proving useful to a range of people, such as emergency planners and the water industry, in order to help them plan ahead. They are not forecasts which can be used to plan a summer holiday or inform an outdoor event."
Head of Forecasting at the Met Office, Brian Golding said: "Seasonal forecasting is a difficult thing to do and this places some limitations on our forecasts. Our predictions for last autumn, winter and spring have all given accurate advice, giving more confidence in our latest summer forecast."
Met Office seasonal forecasts are just one part of the jigsaw in the range of forecasts provided, complementing our shorter-range forecasts and supporting our role, as the nation's official weather forecaster, to help everyone make the most of the weather.

Following the catalogue of errors causing chaos at Heathrow’s new Terminal 5 over the past two days, Managing Director of Hoburne Holiday Park Group James Lapage said:
"Figures have just been released showing nine out of 10 visitors to the south west are from the UK and seeing the troubles at Heathrow’s new terminal with cancelled flights, long queues, the baggage backlog and frustrated passengers even having to spend the night sleeping on the airport’s floor, you can see why more people are choosing to enjoy their holidays in this country.
"With environmental concerns moving ever higher up the political agenda, increasingly frequent incidents of airport chaos and international unrest, family holidays in the UK are again a top choice. People can enjoy a relaxing, tranquil break away or a lively and action-packed adventure from start to finish without having to face the stress and strain of flight delays, lost luggage and hours stood in queues."
