Cressage (Shropshire) weather

Headline:

Unsettled, with scattered showers and sunny spells.

Today:

A bright and dry start for many with patchy cloud and scattered showers. These becoming more widespread through the afternoon and perhaps heavy or blustery at times. Though plenty of sunny spells possible between showers. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Tonight:

Some late evening sunshine as things briefly turn more settled overnight, with winds easing and showers gradually fading. Feeling cooler than last night. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Sunday:

A bright and dry start, but turning cloudier through the morning as a band of prolonged rain, with heavy downpours, pushes northeastwards. Blustery showers follow later. Near-gale force winds likely. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Strong winds and blustery showers continue on Monday, with winds easing and showers fading overnight. A brighter and drier day on Tuesday before turning wet and windy again on Wednesday.

Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme to begin, with further spells of unsettled weather bringing a risk of heavy rain and also the potential for some periods of stronger winds. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
