Chipping Sodbury (South Gloucestershire) weather

Headline:

Very windy with heavy spells of rain moving eastwards.

Today:

A wet and windy day with strong and gusty winds bringing possible disruption in the southwest. A band of rain spreads steadily eastwards, heavy at times, though with brighter skies to follow. Remaining breezy into the afternoon. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

A briefly dry and settled evening, however cloud soon thickens from the southwest overnight, with strengthening winds and heavy rain spreading into the southwest marking the arrival of Storm Éowyn. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Friday:

Wet and very windy as Storm Éowyn clears eastwards, with some heavy downpours at first. Brighter skies to follow with winds gradually subsiding, and even some afternoon sunshine. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Lighter winds on Saturday with some sunshine, before turning wet and windy from Sunday with heavy rain arriving from the southwest. Unsettled with coastal gales and blustery showers on Monday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
