Huntley (Gloucestershire) weather

Headline:

More settled this week, with winds gradually easing.

Today:

A mostly dry and cloudy day to come but a few light showers are possible. Brief sunny intervals may break through the cloud sheet at times. Feeling chilly in the brisk northeasterly breeze and still rather windy on exposed coasts. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Staying generally dry this evening and overnight but remaining largely cloudy. The ongoing chance of a few light showers, especially in south Devon and Cornwall later in the night. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Wednesday:

A cloudy day for most with the chance of showers in the south. Brief sunny intervals may occur in places. Still breezy, especially on east facing English Channel coasts. Chilly. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Largely dry albeit often cloudy through this period with occasional brighter spells and the slim chance of a shower or drizzly outbreak. Frost and fog patches are possible later. Chilly.

High pressure will likely weaken into the weekend, allowing occasional bands of rain to make progress southeastwards across parts of the UK. While there may be an attempt for high pressure to rebuild at times, especially in the south, the more likely scenario is for an unsettled regime to dominate for much of next week, with occasional spells of rain followed by blustery showers, these most frequent and perhaps wintry at times in the northwest. It may be quite windy at times too, especially towards the north, while southern areas have a greater chance of some lengthier drier and perhaps more settled spells, although even here it may still be rather breezy. Temperatures will vary around average, with oscillations between colder and milder interludes.

Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially the north and northwest of the UK. Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north. However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog.
