Audlem (Cheshire East) weather

Headline:

Often cloudy with patchy mist, fog and drizzle.

Today:

Friday will be another mostly cloudy and rather murky day with slow clearing fog and patchy drizzle at times, especially over higher ground. The occasional brighter spell is possible, mainly during the afternoon. Remaining rather mild. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining cloudy and rather murky overnight with fog and hill fog reforming. Patchy drizzle remains likely over western hills. Mild for all. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Saturday:

A cloudy and murky start, though some brighter spells developing for a while before patchy rain arrives from the north through the afternoon. Turning drier and cooler later. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Brighter and breezier on Sunday. Windy with rain later on Monday, this clearing into New Year's Eve when it will turn drier and colder with blustery showers.

An erratic change from the mild and largely settled conditions of the past few days is expected. Rain, stronger winds and some snow already across Scotland may on Tuesday become more severe and start to push southwards through the middle part of next week, bringing a chance of snow to other parts of the UK, along with colder conditions more widely. A period of more settled weather then seems probable later next week, with a gradual recovery in temperatures to nearer average for the time of year, perhaps even mild. Beyond this, a fairly changeable picture is most likely although confidence in details is, as usual at this range, very low. Wettest/windiest weather in the north and west, whilst the south and east will probably remain more settled overall.

Confidence in this period is fairly low, but continuing from the previous period, there remains a chance of rather unsettled and cool conditions continuing at first, with the wettest conditions perhaps focussed more over the south (still with a risk of snow on the northern edge), with sleet and snow showers further north. Then, through the rest of January, something more climatological could return with the wettest and coolest conditions further north, and with higher pressure further south, it is more likely to be drier, and at times milder here than elsewhere.
