North West England weather forecast
Headline:
Mostly dry and cloudy for tonight and on Friday.
This Evening and Tonight:
Daytime showers ease for most into the evening, leaving a dry night. Mostly cloudy over the southern areas, though patchy grass frost is possible to form in the north under the clear skies. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Friday:
A largely dry and cloudy day across the region with some sunny spells over the western areas. Some isolated showers remain possible throughout. Lights winds developing during the night. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Remaining unsettled throughout the period, with sunny spells and showers. These showers are likely to persist overnight in places, with the widespread daytime showers heavy and thundery at times.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
Continuing unsettled and rather cool with showers developing on most days. Each day the showers are likely to be locally heavy with the risk of thunder, perhaps parts of the south most prone to these on Monday. It's likely to be breezy at times too, especially around coastal areas in the west. Temperatures look to remain rather below average across the country, although in any sunshine and lighter winds it will feel quite pleasant. Where winds fall light and skies clear it is still possible we could see some overnight frost in sheltered, prone locations. Perhaps beginning to turn rather more settled toward the end of the period, but this very uncertain at this stage.
Updated:
Confidence is low for this outlook as is typical of late spring and early summer. However perhaps a trend to rather more settled conditions as we move into early June with more in the way of dry weather and sunshine. With this we are likely to see a recovery in temperature too, although at this stage there is no strong signal for any very warm weather.
