Charlbury Youth Hostel (Oxfordshire) weather

Headline:

Turning windy on Monday, rain for a time, clearing later.

Today:

Turning rather windy as cloud thickens through Monday morning, with outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, moving east through the afternoon, followed by dry and clearer conditions later. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Any lingering cloud across Kent at first soon clearing. A dry night to follow for all with long clear spells, but the brisk breeze will persist throughout. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Tuesday:

Rather windy with sunny spells and dry for most, although an isolated fleeting shower is just possible. Winds gradually ease through the evening with long clear spells developing. Feeling fresher. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Winds ease Wednesday, largely dry with sunny spells. Breezier again Thursday, turning cloudier with some patchy rain. Friday variable cloud with patchy rain likely. Temperatures mostly around average.

This period likely starts with something of a north-south split. Some locally heavy rain or showers, with a risk of thunder, will likely affect the north, along with some strong winds, whilst the south looks like starting mainly dry with some warm sunshine and lighter winds. There is a chance of some rain or showers even in the south, but more likely it will be mainly dry and warm here. Temperatures will probably be close to average in the north at first. As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread with above average temperatures. However, some brief unsettled spells remain possible, particularly towards the end of this period.

High pressure, and therefore fairly settled conditions overall, appears most likely for the second half of August. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times, these perhaps more likely later in the period. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south.
