Sunny spells and showers

Today:

Cloud and rain first thing will quickly clear to give a bright day with plenty of sunny spells. Showers will likely affect the Peak District throughout, becoming more generalised across the area from late morning. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Showers dissipating into the evening with some good clear spells initially. Cloud then building later in the night with rain arriving into Wednesday morning. Winds easing. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Wednesday:

Largely cloudy with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times during the morning. Perhaps becoming drier during the afternoon across the north of the region with some brighter spells. Breezy. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Unsettled for much of this period with outbreaks of rain or showers, with best of any sunshine most likely on Friday. Windy on Thursday but easing through Friday.

It is likely to be fairly unsettled at first, with areas of rain or showers, most widespread across central, southern and eastern areas, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds. Into next week, a northwest-southeast split is most likely, with some further rain or showers in southern and eastern areas, closest to an area of low pressure, whilst the best chance of longer, drier spells will be towards the north and northwest, where some patchy fog and rural frost are possible. It will also turn colder, as a northerly flow becomes established for a time. Later in the period, more widely drier and settled conditions could develop as high pressure becomes slightly more influential, although probably still with a few coastal showers. Temperatures should gradually return closer to average.

Signals for prevailing weather patterns become fairly limited by the turn of the month and the early part of October. As is typical at this time of year, there are likely to be some spells of wet and windy weather along with some drier interludes but no strong preference to whether settled or unsettled regimes will be most dominant. Overall, northwestern parts are more likely to be wettest and windiest. Temperatures likely fluctuating around average.
