North West England weather forecast
Headline:
Dry and bright start, rain for most later.
Today:
A largely dry and bright but chilly start, with the odd shower possible before rain, heavy at times, reaches the west coast by the afternoon. Outbreaks of rain will continue through the day, although Cumbria may stay largely dry. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
Tonight:
Although Cumbria will stay largely dry, southern regions will see outbreaks of rain persisting in the evening and overnight, before clearing eastwards towards dawn. Minimum temperature 8 °C.
Wednesday:
Some sunny spells to start, but the odd isolated shower is still possible. Cloudier in the south with a risk of rain in the evening. Maximum temperature 18 °C.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Cloudy and humid but largely dry on Thursday. Showers with a risk of thunder on Friday, broken by sunny spells, feeling fresher. Dry and bright with sunny spells possible Saturday.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
Isolated light showers in the north to start, but elsewhere looking dry with bright or sunny spells. Winds staying light and temperatures rather cool to average. Looking further ahead, a north/ south split across the UK seems most likely. Northern and northwestern areas are expected to see further spells of rain, accompanied by strong winds, with the possibility of these spreading to some other areas at times. Further south however, there should be more in the way of dry weather, though even here, there is still the possibility of some showers, or longer spells of rain. Temperatures are likely to be either around or on the warmer side of average, with the warmest conditions likely in the southeast.
Updated:
Although confidence remains low throughout this period, the preferred scenario favours a more settled regime. There should be plenty of dry, fine weather around, though there is still the risk of occasional bouts of rain and strong winds. Such spells are mostly likely across the north and west, but they could spread to other areas at times. Temperatures generally around average, with any periods of particularly warm weather most likely being short-lived.
