Needham Market (Suffolk) weather

Headline:

Showery outbreaks of rain will move north, with the occasional heavy burst mixed in, and some areas of lower cloud. Continuing breezy but mild. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Wednesday:

Generally rather cloudy and breezy with some further occasional showery rain likely, locally heavy. However, drier, brighter intervals are also likely and feeling warm where these occur. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Thursday, any early rain clearing then mostly dry and bright. Friday, probably dry, although a small chance of a spell of rain. Saturday, cloud and rain clearing east later.

There is potential for a deep area of low pressure to pass over or close to the west/northwest of the UK early in this period, potentially bringing a spell of very strong winds and heavy rain, especially to parts of the north and west. Through next week, an oscillation between occasional spells of rain, most frequent in the northwest, with longer drier interludes in-between, is likely. It may be rather windy at times too, again especially in northern and western areas. Towards late October there are signs that, whilst northwestern areas may continue to see some rain at times, high pressure may become increasingly influential, potentially bringing more widely settled and drier conditions, with an increasing chance of overnight frost and fog.

High pressure is likely to steadily become more influential around the turn of the month. This means plenty of dry weather to be had, but with the chance of overnight frost and fog becoming rather more widespread than in the days preceding this period. Some large fluctuations between daytime and nighttime temperatures are possible, with relatively mild days, where fog doesn't linger, and cold frosty nights. Towards mid-November, the area of high pressure may track towards the northwest, allowing a gradual trend towards colder and perhaps more unsettled conditions.
