Accrington (Lancashire) weather

Headline:

Showers and rain continuing into Wednesday, but easing.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers and longer spells of rain throughout Tuesday evening. These could be heavy, and possibly thundery in the south, but turning lighter overnight. Breezy across Cumbria by dawn. Rather mild. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy on Wednesday with, generally light, showers and outbreaks of rain. Turning windier through the day and feeling colder than of late with a touch of rural frost overnight. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Drier to end the week with sunny spells; small chance of showers Friday and Saturday. Feeling noticeably colder with temperatures below average. Rural frost and fog patches possible at night.

A quieter interlude at first, especially across central and eastern areas, before cloud and outbreaks of rain return from the west later in the weekend. Into next week, and while there will be some rain at times, this will tend to be most frequent across northwestern areas, with longer drier spells likely towards the south and east. It will be rather breezy or windy, especially in the west and northwest, but with temperatures recovering to near or above-average, possibly bringing some warm conditions at times in the south and east. Towards the end of the period high pressure may become more influential, with temperatures potentially returning closer to the average for the time of year.

Potentially some wet and windy weather at first, especially in the northwest, but a trend towards more settled conditions is most favoured for late October as high pressure becomes increasingly dominant. This would bring the potential for frost and fog at night, and possibly large variations between daytime and overnight temperatures. Into early November, high pressure may become more centred to the northwest of the UK, resulting in a gradual trend towards more unsettled conditions.
