King's Lynn Youth Hostel (Norfolk) weather

Headline:

Dry with clear spells at first. Turning increasingly cloudy overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying dry with long clear spells this evening. Turning increasingly cloudy from the west overnight, although the far east will continue to see clear spells. Becoming windy, especially along the coast. A milder night compared to last night. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Sunday:

Generally cloudy and dry, although some early bright spells are possible across eastern areas. Through the evening a band of heavy rain moves east. Breezy inland, windy along the coast. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Monday and Tuesday sunny spells and scattered heavy showers, with a chance of thunder. Wednesday probably showers or longer spells of rain. Generally light winds and temperatures near average.

The forecast period looks most likely to be mostly unsettled, with frequent bouts of wind and rain associated with areas of low pressure. There remains a threat of ex-Hurricane Kirk bringing very wet and windy conditions to some parts of the UK, especially the south, although the centre of this system looks most likely to track across northern France. Scotland and Northern Ireland are more likely to turn colder with showers from Wednesday, the colder weather (perhaps some snow on Scottish mountains) then gradually working its way south by the end of the week. Perhaps turning a little more settled for some areas as we head into next weekend, although detail by this stage is very low confidence.

A continuation of low pressure systems tracking in from the Atlantic is the most likely scenario for the rest of October. This means wet and windy weather at times, especially across England and Wales, but with a suggestion that Scotland and Northern Ireland may be more likely to see longer breaks in the weather, and more in the way of drier spells. It is possible that these drier conditions could be seen more widely later in the month as higher pressure further north extends southwards for a time. This would also bring an increased chance of overnight fog and frost. Temperatures will tend to be close to average overall in the south, but probably below average in the north and northwest.
