Empingham (Rutland) weather

Headline:

Clear spells initially. Low cloud will spread inland again overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Largely clear in the west of the region this evening. Low cloud is then expected to spread inland overnight, giving misty or foggy conditions. Most areas staying dry throughout, although some patchy light drizzle is possible. Light winds. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Thursday:

Thursday morning probably starting cloudy and dull. Cloud thinning and breaking to give bright or sunny spells during the afternoon. A fine evening before low cloud spreads inland again overnight. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Friday fine with hazy sunshine. Chance that some patchy rain or showers may affect Derbyshire hills by Saturday, otherwise dry. Sunday fine with sunny spells. Temperatures near or above average.

Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog. This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
