Holmes Chapel (Cheshire East) weather

Headline:

Storm Floris bringing strong winds and rain early on Monday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any showers easing this evening with clear spells at first. Cloud thickening from the west with outbreaks of rain by dawn. Increasingly windy, especially at the coasts and over hills. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Monday:

Storm Floris brings unseasonably strong winds during Monday, accompanied by heavy rain at first. Turning drier through the afternoon with sunny spells, though still windy. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

A bright and breezy day on Tuesday with isolated showers, but drier and warmer on Wednesday with lighter winds. Cloudier again on Thursday with outbreaks of rain likely.

This period likely starts with something of a north-south split. Some locally heavy rain or showers, with a risk of thunder, will likely affect the north, along with some strong winds, whilst the south looks like starting mainly dry with some warm sunshine and lighter winds. There is a chance of some rain or showers even in the south, but more likely it will be mainly dry and warm here. Temperatures will probably be close to average in the north at first. As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread with above average temperatures. However, some brief unsettled spells remain possible, particularly towards the end of this period.

High pressure, and therefore fairly settled conditions overall, appears most likely for the second half of August. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times, these perhaps more likely later in the period. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south.
