Topcliffe (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain much of the night

This Evening and Tonight:

Remaining cloudy with hill fog and outbreaks of rain returning through the evening. Rain will slowly clear to the east towards dawn, but remaining cloudy. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Monday:

A cloudy start Monday, with outbreaks of rain over western hills. Drier in the east. Cloud and rain clearing into the afternoon, with some bright and sunny spells later. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Cloudy and windy to start Tuesday, with rain followed by a brighter afternoon. Sunny intervals and showers Wednesday. Sunny spells then showers later Thursday. Noticeably cooler than recently throughout.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
