Streatley Youth Hostel (West Berkshire) weather

Headline:

Windy with outbreaks of rain

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud continuing to thicken across the region into the evening, with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, sweeping quickly eastwards across the area towards midnight. Turning drier towards dawn but still a risk of an isolated shower. Becoming windy. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Friday:

Windy with coastal gales and mostly cloudy. Many areas starting dry, but scattered, blustery showers soon move across the region from mid-morning, some of which may become heavy and thundery. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Unsettled throughout this period with bands of rain or showers moving across the region, some of which may be heavy or thundery at times. Windy throughout.

The changeable and at times unsettled weather is likely to continue to start this period, with low pressure dominating the UK. This means further showers or longer spells of rain at times. All parts could see some heavy rain, but it is likely that western areas will be wettest. Strong winds are likely at times, with gales possible in the west. Equally there should also be some drier or clearer interludes, these more prevalent further east. There will likely be a transition to a less unsettled pattern later in the period making drier interludes more common. Winds predominantly blowing from a westerly or southwesterly quadrant. Above average temperatures are most likely, with a reduced incidence of overnight frost and fog, compared to normal, especially at first.

The gradual transition to a less unsettled pattern is anticipated to continue through the middle part of the month. With time, greater incidences of high pressure look set to affect the UK, bringing more in the way of dry weather, but also increasing the chances of overnight fog and frost. There may however be some periods of rain, showers, and stronger winds, especially in the west. Later in the month any low pressure systems will likely be steered to the northwest of the UK. As such the majority of any wet and windy weather is more likely to affect areas further to the north. Overall, temperatures look to pan out near to a little above average.
