Melbourne (Derbyshire) weather

Headline:

Rather cloudy and damp.

This Evening and Tonight:

Often cloudy and remaining on the mild side for many, although temperatures may dip to allow a slight grass frost under any lasting cloud breaks. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will mainly affect the Peak District. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Friday:

Damp and rather cloudy in many parts of the northwest especially, with extensive low cloud. Eastern parts will see the best of limited cloud breaks. Mild throughout, with light winds. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Saturday probably similarly rather cloudy and damp. Perhaps becoming a little brighter and breezier through Sunday, with Monday windier with a few further brighter spells. On the mild side.

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.
