Manningtree (Essex) weather

Headline:

An increasing risk of showers and rain during the weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry and largely clear initially but some low cloud will eventually feed in from the coast during the evening. The cloud will become extensive later in the night although easternmost parts may remain cloud free. Breezy along coastal areas. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Thursday:

Mostly cloudy at first, the cloud quickly melting away to give a warm and sunny afternoon for most. Staying cloudy, breezy and cooler along the coast. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Sunny spells developing after a cloudy start on Friday, the odd afternoon shower. Bright with heavier showers on Saturday, perhaps thundery locally. Rain for most on Sunday, heavy and prolonged.

Showers with the potential for some longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery at times, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south but tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. 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 then possible, 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.
