Goldenhill (Stoke-on-Trent) weather

Headline:

Some rain this evening, sunnier on Thursday, changeable over Easter.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showery rain arriving this evening, clearing southwards by midnight with skies clearing overnight. Turning chilly with a touch of frost in the countryside. Winds falling light. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Thursday:

A much brighter day with a mixture of sunny periods and occasional cloudier spells. Staying generally dry until after dark. Cooler than on Wednesday but pleasantly warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Changeable with showers possible at times, these most likely on Good Friday. Often windy with the strongest winds on Saturday. Plenty of dry weather too with warm sunny spells.

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as a series of Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially to hills, and overnight frost.

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through the middle of the month. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall. There may, however, still be some more unsettled interludes at times, especially in the south and southwest. Later in April, the probability of more changeable and unsettled weather increases. Temperatures will probably be around or a little above normal for the period as a whole.
