Market Bosworth (Leicestershire) weather

Headline:

A fine start Easter Monday, rain spreading east this afternoon.

Today:

Rather cloudy but mainly dry this morning with overnight low cloud soon lifting. Rain arriving during the afternoon, then turning drier and brighter again in the west by early evening, although a few localised heavy showers are possible. Light winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Tonight:

Rain and isolated heavy showers easing through the evening with long clear periods following. Becoming chilly with localised fog patches forming in the east, meanwhile western hills remain cloudier. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Tuesday:

Dry with plenty of sunshine to start. Cloud increasing through the day with isolated showers but still largely dry and rather warm with bright or sunny spells and light winds. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Chance of rain or showers Wednesday then drier and brighter on Thursday and Friday. Winds often light and temperatures near to slightly above normal for the time of year.

Most likely dry and often bright across much of the UK at the start of this period, although more cloud, and some rain are possible across western areas. Little changes through the first weekend, although the chance of a few heavy showers increases across the south. Into the following week, it will most probably be high pressure dominated, with large amounts of fine weather, and perhaps the odd heavy shower, especially in the south. However, there is a small chance of an alternative scenario coming off, with cloudier and wetter weather more extensive, especially across the south and west of the UK. Winds are most likely to be light, with temperatures probably at or slightly above normal.

The period begins with the two alternate scenarios continuing, most likely widely dry and settled, but a lower chance of more unsettled and wet conditions, especially in the south and west. Towards the middle of the month signals become weak and mixed, with more balanced chances of dry / settled and wetter / unsettled conditions. But compared to the start of this period, this represents an increased chance of more unsettled / wet conditions. There is however a strong signal for temperatures to be at or above average.
