East Midlands weather forecast
Headline:
Cloudy overnight, but very warm sunny spells developing on Friday.
This Evening and Tonight:
Some evening sunshine is likely. Low cloud will encroach inland in the northeasterly breeze through the evening and night, bringing misty conditions, and possible drizzle to coasts and hills. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Friday:
Low cloud will clear from inland areas, with very warm sunny spells developing. Small chance of thundery showers. Cloud may persist near some coasts, where fresher in onshore breezes. Maximum temperature 27 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Rather cloudy, but with limited spells of hazy sunshine at times through the period. Further heavy, thundery showers are possible. Feeling warm and humid for many with light winds.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
The beginning of this period is likely to be generally unsettled, with showers and longer spells of rain at times. There is also a low chance that there could be some further thundery weather, although this would most likely be confined towards the southeast of the UK. It is likely to be windier than of late, especially in the west where there is also a risk of gales. Temperatures should start rather warm for many, despite the spells of unsettled weather. However, temperatures may cool slightly by the end of this period as the low pressure system, which was situated over the west of the UK, pushes towards the east and allows for a freshening breeze to develop from the northwest.
Updated:
Although confidence is low for this period, it is likely that conditions will become more changeable with settled days interspersed with periods of rain and strengthening winds, especially in the northwest. However, the east and southeast will perhaps remain slightly more settled throughout with temperatures around or above average. There is also a possibility for southern regions to turn very warm at times, with a potential for thunderstorms to develop.
