Southchurch (Southend-on-Sea) weather

Headline:

Cloudy, sunshine developing from the west.

Today:

A cloudy start to the day with cloud gradually burning away from the west with most places becoming fine and warm as the cloud dissipates. Perhaps staying cloudier and cooler towards the coast. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Cloud feeds in from the coast during the evening with eastern upslopes seeing patches of hill fog and the odd spot of drizzle. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Thursday:

Easterly winds bring cloudy conditions with hill fog and drizzle on upslopes, cloud gradually burns away during the morning to see a sunny afternoon. Feeling warm away from coastal regions. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Largely cloudy Friday with some light rain and drizzle, brighter spells develop into the afternoon accompanied by the risk of showers. Further sunshine and showers Saturday. Rain arriving on Sunday.

Showers or longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south and southwest but tending to ease away to the southeast early next week. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible during the first part of next week, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.

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.
