Bakewell (Derbyshire) weather

Headline:

Mostly cloudy, but perhaps brightening up in places on Wednesday.

Today:

Mostly rather cloudy and murky in the south and east. Drier and perhaps eventually brighter in the north and west, with the best of any brighter spells. Near-normal temperatures. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

Dry with clear spells developing from the northwest at first allowing a widespread frost and areas of freezing fog to form. Temperatures much cooler than of late with light winds. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Thursday:

Mostly dry with mist and fog slowly clearing. Morning sunshine in the northwest before cloud encroaches from the south during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Mostly dry with extensive cloud breaking to give some limited clearer spells, but also some patchy overnight frost and fog. Temperatures slowly trending downwards, becoming rather cold into the weekend.

This period is expected to see a transition, possibly lasting over several days, between the settled, dry, and often dull conditions expected over the next few days, to something more unsettled. Sunday itself is likely to be rather cloudy and cool, with outbreaks of rain in the west drifting slowly eastwards. The start of the following week will most likely see more settled conditions with light winds becoming re-established, with a chance of rain in both the far north and the far south, and a smaller chance that the rain could become more widespread. Later in the week, periods of much wetter and windier weather will most likely become more prevalent, from northwest to southeast, alternatively there is a very small chance of colder, drier, but perhaps wintry, easterly winds.

A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely through this period, resulting in an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the potential for brief colder spells with associated frost, ice and snow remains, following any deep lows crossing the region.
