Gloucester (Gloucestershire) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells on Monday, then cool, showery and rather windy.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showery rain continuing into this evening but turning mainly dry overnight with clear spells developing. Brisk northwesterly winds in Devon and Cornwall and becoming widely breezy overnight. A cooler night. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Monday:

A much brighter day with sunny spells, these prolonged at times. Feeling cool in the breeze but pleasantly warm where sheltered from the wind and in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Unsettled and feeling autumnal with rain spreading south later on Tuesday followed by sunshine and heavy showers on Wednesday and Thursday. Windy, especially at first and turning much cooler.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
