The Meto is still not prepared to forecast this change in their 6-15 day
outlook ...


Not so.
" UK Outlook for Monday 4 Mar 2013 to Wednesday 13 Mar 2013:

Next week is likely to start generally dry with variable amounts of cloud
but probably the best of the sunshine across southern and western areas.
However, even northern and eastern places should see increasing amounts of
sunshine by mid-week. Through the remainder of the week it will probably
turn more unsettled in the southwest with rain at times. Other areas may
hold on to these drier conditions for longer, but bands of rain are likely
to increasingly advance further north and east, giving a low risk of snow in
northern areas. Winds generally light at first, but southeasterly winds are
likely to strengthen in southern areas. Generally rather cold with further
overnight frosts for many, especially at first, but temperatures probably
recovering to nearer normal in the south with time. "

"turn more unsettled in the SW ..... bands of rain .... " looks like a
change to me.
Did you read this forecast before posting I wonder?
