Thornton (Leicestershire) weather

Headline:

Dry, sunny, breezy inland and windy along the coast.

Today:

Another fine and dry day with plenty of sunshine, after any early patchy low cloud clears from across the Peak District. Breezy inland and windy along the coast with an onshore wind. Highest temperatures across western areas. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Dry with largely clear skies, although areas of low cloud may form, most likely across the Peak District. Becoming rather chilly in some rural locations as winds ease a little. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Thursday:

Generally sunny, once any early low cloud clears, although later high cloud may arrive. Breezy inland, and cooler and windy for many coastal locations. Becoming rather warm for western areas. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Dry and mainly sunny once overnight low cloud clears. Often breezy. Warm or very warm Friday, thereafter temperatures closer to average inland, while coastal areas are rather cool each day.

High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. There is still a chance of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.

Weather patterns are most likely to remain fairly slow-moving through the second half of April. There could be some interludes of rain or showers for a time around mid April, but on the whole plenty of dry and fine weather is expected with high pressure looking to remain in charge for most of the time. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
