Plenty of Dry Weather as High Pressure Rules
After a very wet September and start to October, high pressure is returning from the west, bringing plenty of dry weather.
Initially, the high will have some weather-fronts coming over the top of it, which will bring frustrating cloud amounts.
Here’s the latest in-depth forecast from weather expert Jon Baylis:
Today (Thursday): Any early brightness will fade, and cloud will spread in, leading to a dull day. It will feel a little cool, especially in the breeze, with a maximum temperature of 16°C and a minimum of 11°C. Gusts could reach up to 20mph.
Tonight: Cloud will persist, and with clear skies overnight, patchy mist and fog may form.
Tomorrow (Friday): Hopefully, more in the way of brightness as the dry weather continues, with a slight breeze. Cloud will be hard to predict, though.
Weekend: Light winds and settled conditions are expected.
Saturday: It should be a nice day with sunny spells after the morning’s mist and fog clears. Light winds will aid mist and fog to form again overnight.
Sunday: Very similar, but a notable change to an easterly wind could drag in some cloud from the North Sea later in the day.
Outlook: High pressure is firmly in charge, but with a northeasterly or easterly setup, it could well be a disappointing few days. Cloud dragged in from the east may be trapped under the high pressure, leading to cool-feeling days and some localized drizzle.
We could well see some inversions in place, so heading up high to see the sunshine could well be the plan.
Temperatures remain similar, and later in the week, a shift to a southeasterly airflow and drier air will hopefully bring more in the way of sunshine as the high pressure stays firm and the lack of significant rain continues.
