Helvellyn Youth Hostel (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

A cloudy and murky start but turning warm and sunny.

Today:

A largely bright start in the west with some low cloud, mist and fog patches possible in the east. These will soon lift and clear, allowing plenty of warm sunny spells to develop into the afternoon. Light winds. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Some late evening sunshine before low cloud, mist and fog returns as it feeds in from the east. This will stop temperatures dropping too low leading to a mild night. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Friday:

A cloudier day that of late though sunny spells breaking through in the far west. A risk of scattered showers later, these possibly turning heavy. Feeling cooler under cloudier skies. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Often cloudy this weekend and next week with the best of the sunshine often in the west. Occasional showers at times, perhaps turning heavy for some, with some brighter interludes.

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.
