The Met Office explains: “A broad northwest- southeast split in the weather looks the most likely scenario as we move into the second week of March.”
“High pressure centred over continental Europe should maintain enough of an influence across southern and eastern UK to allow for a fair bit of dry and at times bright weather, whilst the majority of rain-bearing weather systems affect the Northwest of the UK. Some strong winds are likely at times in the north west.”
