Roby (Merseyside) weather

Headline:

Changeable weather ahead of Storm Austen.

Today:

Rain and cloud around to start, turning wetter and windier from the southwest into the afternoon. This rain heavy for a time, before clearing off to the east by the evening. Feeling rather chilly under that cloud and rain. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Tonight:

Residual cloud lingering tonight, with the odd spot of rain into the early hours of Thursday and the odd clear spell in-between. A cooler night under light winds. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Thursday:

A dry start for most, with showers to the south, heavy at times. Turning drier with sunny spells developing through the afternoon. Feeling pleasant in any sunshine with light winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Heavy rain on Friday with coastal gales, fuelled by Storm Austen. Turning drier into Saturday, with sunny spells before turning very wet and windy later. Drier but breezy on Sunday.

Changeable and at times unsettled, with weather systems spreading in from the Atlantic. These will bring spells of rain, heavy at times, together with a risk of strong winds or gales. Between systems it will be drier and brighter with some sunshine, but also with a few showers in places. Further into the period there is a chance that the weather patterns could become more slowly evolving for a time. This may lead to more in the way of settled weather, especially in the east, but this is uncertain. Temperatures may be slightly below normal at first, but are likely to rise above average later.

There may be a slowly evolving weather pattern at first, which could lead to more in the way of drier and brighter conditions, especially in the east. Into mid-November it is likely that changeable and at times unsettled weather patterns will become increasingly prevalent. These probably take the form of weather systems spreading in from the Atlantic bringing spells of rain, heavy at times (especially in the west), together with a risk of strong winds or gales. Between systems it will be drier and brighter with some sunshine, but also with a few showers in places. Temperatures are likely to be near to or above average overall.
