Towcester (Northamptonshire) weather

Early cloud will soon thin and break up to give a mostly fine day with bright or sunny spells for many. Feeling very warm and muggy. Light winds. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Tonight:

Cloudy in the west, clear skies develop across the rest of the region during night with light winds. Warm temperatures and muggy overnight. Minimum temperature 17 °C.

Friday:

Sunny in the east at first before cloud and rain spreads eastwards across all parts the evening. Feeling warmer than of late. Maximum temperature 27 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Changeable on Saturday with some spells and showers moving erratically eastwards. Perhaps drier with warm sunny spells Sunday and Monday with temperatures climbing.

Probably a north-south split at the start of this period. In the north, changeable and often rather cloudy with showers or some longer spells of rain, perhaps heavy at times, and temperatures near normal. In the south, mainly fine and dry with temperatures well above normal, albeit with a small risk of a few showers or thunderstorms at times. Into late June, high pressure may begin to build with conditions becoming more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for many areas.

High pressure patterns are slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during this period, meaning settled and drier than average conditions are most probable. However, there is still a chance of some changeable, more unsettled conditions could develop at times, and a risk of some heavy and thundery showers. Temperatures are likely to be above normal, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing.
