Wilton (Wiltshire) weather

Headline:

A showery few days. More settled to end the week.

Today:

Sunshine and showers on Thursday. Showers turning thundery at times as they move their way eastwards. Some hail possible too. Slightly cooler than Wednesday and rather breezy, but warm in any sunny spells. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Showers reducing in number during the evening but some continuing overnight, chiefly around western coasts where they could still be heavy and thundery. Clear spells elsewhere and winds falling lighter. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Friday:

Another showery day, with a few of these again possibly thundery with hail. Driest in the far east of the region with sunny spells. Feeling fresher than of late. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Becoming more settled with an increasing number of sunny spells. Small chance of a shower on Saturday. Temperatures below average for August but feeling pleasant where the sunshine emerges.

Largely dry and settled early next week as a ridge of high pressure continues to extend across the country. Likely turning more unsettled during the week and through to the turn of the month as low pressure becomes more dominant. This bringing showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps heavy, to most if not all areas at times though still some sunny interludes. Possibly windy at times too. Temperatures likely near to average though varying with some short-lived warm and humid spells possible, especially in the south.

A rather unsettled start to autumn is most likely with all areas probably seeing a mixture of showers or longer spells rain interspersed with drier interludes. Temperatures likely varying around average, some warm or hot spells are possible but unlikely prolonged in early September. By mid-September, there may be an increase in the extent of drier, more settled weather, especially in the south and east, though signals become very weak.
