Knighton (Dorset) weather

Headline:

Often cloudy with some sunshine in places.

Today:

Cloudiest conditions remain over eastern counties, but a brighter day is likely further west with some sunny spells possible. Breezy along southern coasts. Feeling a little warmer. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Another largely cloudy and dull end to the day though with a few early evening sunny breaks. Clearer spells developing overnight allowing temperatures to fall and fog patches to form. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Friday:

A brighter start for many with variable cloud and sunny spells through the day, especially out to the west. A few showers possible along the south coast. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Bright or sunny intervals on Saturday and turning breezier. A change on Sunday as rain and brisker winds arrive from the west followed by sunshine and heavy showers on Monday.

The unsettled weather looks to continue, with areas of low pressure running in from the west or southwest. This means further spells of rain or showers, possibly accompanied by strong winds at times, with one particular watch point for this in the first couple of days of this period. That said, some drier interludes are still probable, though the duration of these much shorter than the predominantly dry spell at present. Temperatures probably near normal overall, but day-to-day values high dependent on the track of any lows. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK.

It is likely to be changeable at first, with a showery northwesterly regime most favoured across the UK. Into November, an unsettled pattern is anticipated, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track across the UK. These may be shifted farther south than normal, bringing showers or longer spells of rain fairly widely, perhaps also accompanied by some strong winds at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
