Chicheley (Milton Keynes) weather

Headline:

Storm Dave bringing windy conditions later Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any residual showers moving away southeastward this evening as clearer, dry conditions follow from the northwest. Clear spells overnight giving a chilly start to Saturday, although cloud increasing again from the west later. Breezy this evening but winds decreasing overnight. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Saturday:

Cloudy through the morning with patchy light rain at times. Drier through the afternoon, with some brighter spells. Winds strengthening later, strong inland, near gale along the coast. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Strong winds Sunday morning slowly easing, followed by the odd blustery shower from the west. Sunshine and lighter winds Monday; breezier Tuesday but staying dry and sunny. Becoming warm.

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially to hills, and overnight frost.

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through the middle of the month. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall. There may, however, still be some more unsettled interludes at times, especially in the south and southwest. Temperatures will probably be around or a little above normal for the period as a whole, and its possible we may see some pleasantly warm spring weather at times.
