East of England weather forecast
Headline:
Sunshine and showers. Breezy, but winds easing.
Today:
Mainly fine with some sunny spells, although northern districts are likely to see a few showers develop, eventually dying away later. Less windy than Sunday, but still breezy for a time, especially during the morning. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
Tonight:
Becoming dry overnight, with clear spells developing widely and with winds easing further. Becoming chilly in rural areas towards dawn. Minimum temperature 9 °C.
Tuesday:
A chilly but fine start, with some sunny spells during the morning. Becoming cloudier later ahead of afternoon rain, this mainly affecting the north, with southern areas perhaps staying dry. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Rather cloudy and unsettled for much of this period, with spells of rain through midweek, probably eventually becoming drier and brighter on Friday. Rather warm and humid throughout.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
Cloudy for many with showers, these heaviest in eastern parts where the winds may be stronger also. Becoming largely dry in western areas with some good spells of sunshine. 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.
