Whitehaven (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Increasingly cloudy, and turning wetter over the weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry and increasingly cloudy evening, especially in the east, with mist and patchy fog forming widely across rural parts. Rather mild for most, however cooler in the west under clearer skies. Generally light winds, but breezier across the Pennines. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Friday:

Rather cloudy with patchy drizzle in eastern parts. Brighter spells developing into the afternoon with some warm sunshine in the west, however heavy showers sweeping westwards across Cheshire. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Often cloudy this weekend and into next week with the best of the sunshine in the west. Occasional showers, heavy at times, especially across the south, and becoming breezy.

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.
