Dronfield (Derbyshire) weather

Headline:

Chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms this weekend. Feeling warm.

This Evening and Tonight:

Low cloud will once again drift back in from the North Sea to become extensive and occasionally accompanied by drizzle. Breezy with hill fog over any modest hill but some light winds elsewhere. A mild night. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Friday:

The cloud will tend to become fragmented from all directions, allowing warm sunny spells to develop in the afternoon, but places near the coast are likely to stay overcast. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Cloud breaking up into sunny spells on Saturday, the odd shower likely. Similar on Sunday, with rain for some late. Soggy on Monday, with persistent and occasionally heavy rain.

Some rain across southeastern parts, lighter and not as extensive as previous days and tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing for most places, although with a band of cloud and some rain moving across the far north, particularly the northwest and a few showers moving into western parts further south. Temperatures likely a bit cooler than previous days. A transition to a generally more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain moving into many areas, but more especially in the south. Towards the end of the week, much cooler, showery conditions are expected for many parts with the north and west likely being a focus for these showers.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
