East Midlands Airport (Leicestershire) weather

Headline:

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine end to the day, with prolonged evening sunshine. Staying dry with long clear spells and turning chilly, with a touch of ground frost in sheltered spots. Winds mostly light but becoming breezier along the coast and over hills. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Tuesday:

Dry, fine and warm or very warm, the sunshine perhaps turning slightly hazier later. A brisk breeze, especially across hills and along the coast, giving a noticeably cooler feel here. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wednesday, generally dry and warm or very warm with sunny spells. Lighter winds. Thursday cooler, breezy with sunshine and showers. Friday, cloudier, patchy rain moving east. Breezy.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern is rather more unclear. Some drier, brighter interludes will also occur and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Beyond mid-month, high pressure may become rather more dominant, bringing more in the way of drier and perhaps warmer weather, though this will be determined by the location and proximity of where any high is positioned relative to the UK.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
