Peterborough (Peterborough) weather

Headline:

Cloudy for most overnight, with limited clear intervals.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying cloudy for most, with outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. These gradually easing away after midnight, with some clear spells inland perhaps allowing mist or fog patches to develop. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Thursday:

Any early fog patches gradually lifting. Variable but often persistent cloud, with sunny spells most likely in the north and east. A few showers perhaps grazing the Essex coast. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rather cloudy Friday and Saturday, with further hill fog, some limited drizzle, and isolated brighter intervals. A few light showers possible Friday. Winds strengthening Sunday with rain spreading east.

A rather unsettled pattern is likely through much of this period, as low pressure systems originating over the North Atlantic trundle east or northeastwards across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times, but also interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, albeit these generally of shorter duration than the recent settled spell. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic to the west, and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average overall, although may trend slightly below normal later

It is likely to be changeable at first, with a showery northwesterly regime most favoured across the UK. Into November, an unsettled pattern is anticipated, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track across the UK. These may be shifted farther south than normal, bringing showers or longer spells of rain fairly widely, perhaps also accompanied by some strong winds at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
