Speke (Merseyside) weather

Headline:

Today:

A grey and damp start with outbreaks of rain moving northeastwards, locally heavy at first. Gradually turning drier and brighter as the day unfolds. Feeling warm and rather muggy, with low cloud hugging some hills. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Largely dry this evening with some spells of brightness. Overnight we will likely see mist and low cloud form, with perhaps some spots of drizzle over higher ground. Remaining warm. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Thursday:

A mostly dry, bright and very warm day across the south of region. Further north will turn increasingly cloudy with some rain moving into Cumbria and perhaps parts of Lancashire. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Further rain possible on Friday, especially in the north. Becoming drier and brighter this weekend, though still a few showers at first. Warm on Saturday and perhaps hot by Sunday.

Probably a north-south split at the start of this period. In the north, changeable and often rather cloudy with showers or some longer spells of rain, perhaps heavy at times, and temperatures near normal. In the south, mainly fine and dry with temperatures well above normal, albeit with a small risk of a few showers or thunderstorms at times. Into late June, high pressure may begin to build with conditions becoming more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for many areas.

High pressure patterns are slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during this period, meaning settled and drier than average conditions are most probable. However, there is still a chance of some changeable, more unsettled conditions could develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be above normal, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing.
