Newark-on-Trent (Nottinghamshire) weather

Headline:

Dry and mostly sunny. Feeling cooler on coasts. Breezy.

Today:

Dry and sunny first thing, before an area of low cloud drifts southwards to affect some coastal districts during the morning. Cloud quickly breaks up to leave a fine afternoon, with plenty of warm sunshine. Cooler on coasts. Breezy. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Staying dry with clear spells at first. Low cloud and patchy mist developing along North Sea coasts will gradually spread inland overnight. Cooler than previous night away from coasts. Breezy. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Thursday:

Early low cloud and mist will soon retreat to the coasts, where it may linger in places. Otherwise, fine and dry with warm sunny spells inland. Cooler on coasts. Breezy. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Largely dry and settled, with sunny spells throughout. Some low cloud and patchy drizzle along coasts at times. Temperatures above average, but noticeably cooler along coasts, with an onshore breeze.

Mostly dry and largely sunny conditions are expected to continue for the vast majority over the next several days as a slow-moving area of high pressure remains dominant. It will continue to be warm or very warm for many, especially in the west, but it will be remain cooler in the east, especially along coasts, with some coastal areas seeing persistent low cloud at times, accompanied by a brisk breeze off the North Sea. There is an increasing chance that conditions will turn more unsettled from late next week though, as areas of rain and strengthening winds threaten from the west and/or south (the latter bringing a risk of thunderstorms). This would most likely to be accompanied by temperatures dropping nearer to average for the time of year.

The start of the period may see some more in the way of rain and showers across much of the UK, especially western parts. Fine and dry weather is more likely to prevail towards the south and east though and may start to develop more widely, but occasional spells of rain and showers are still possible, with the potential for thunderstorms on some days. Overall, temperatures will most likely be around or above normal for the time of year.
