Prenton (Merseyside) weather

Headline:

Rather cloudy and humid, with some drizzle on the hills.

Today:

A few bright spells are possible on Tuesday, but on the whole it looks rather cloudy. There will be some patches of fog and drizzle over the hills, and near the west coast at first. Fairly warm and humid. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Rather cloudy at first, and remaining cloudy across many northern and eastern areas with hill fog and patchy drizzle overnight. Some clear spells developing elsewhere. A fairly warm night. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Wednesday:

After a cloudy start in the east with patchy rain, Wednesday looks to be a mostly fine day with some decent spells of sunshine. Perhaps an isolated shower. Feeling fresher. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A ridge of high pressure will give a mostly settled day on Thursday, with some sunshine. Clouding over on Friday with damp and breezy conditions developing heading into Saturday.

Following a fine couple of days in the run up to this period, away from the far northwest where more persistent rain is expected to develop, a transition to something more unsettled countrywide looks likely. Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills whilst some eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks. Likely turning cooler and more showery later in the weekend and into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
