Sixpenny Handley (Dorset) weather

Headline:

Autumnal showers but turning more settled through the week.

Today:

A cloudy start in the west with showers along the northern coasts of Devon and Cornwall, moving inland later. Brighter further east with light showers in the afternoon. Winds lighter than of late but feeling cool in places. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Showers easing overnight as cloud breaks, bringing some clearer spells in places. Winds turning very light which can lead to mist and fog, mostly in the east. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Thursday:

Early mist and fog will lift into patchy cloud initially. Some brighter spells develop in the afternoon with light winds. Temperatures around average for the end of October. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Staying settled for the rest of the week as high pressure stays in charge in the south. Light winds will lead to mist and fog overnight and during the mornings.

Pressure is set to build in the vicinity of the UK as we move into early November, with a lot of dry weather as a result. Cloud amounts will be quite variable with weak fronts bringing a focus of cloud, and possibly light rain at times, but there is no significant bias to where these are favoured. Within the high pressure, some places, perhaps more likely towards the east, will likely see overnight and morning fog, which at this time of year could take a while to clear and where it lingers, it will remain chilly. Otherwise, temperatures generally fairly close to average for most during this period. Winds will generally be light, although stronger for the coastal north at times.

Probably largely settled at first, perhaps with some chilly nights. Moving further into November, there is an increased chance of more unsettled conditions developing, with a return to spells of rain and potential for strong winds. However, the extent and location of wettest or windiest areas is uncertain. Overall, temperatures will probably be near or a little above average.
