Blackpool (Blackpool) weather

Headline:

Cold and cloudy for most.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy for most overnight with any clear periods this evening tending to fill in with cloud. Remaining largely dry but occasional drizzly outbreaks or snow grains are possible later. Cold and frosty with freezing fog patches possible for a time. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Sunday:

Another cold and cloudy day for most with a few favoured areas to the north of higher ground perhaps seeing some brightness at times. Often misty over the hills. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Patchy rain and drizzle arriving early next week, interspersed with drier, brighter intervals too. Some cold and frosty nights to come, but temperatures slowly recovering to nearer average.

A transition to a rather more changeable and at times unsettled weather pattern is likely to occur during the first few days of this period. Outbreaks of rain and freshening winds will probably make inroads from the southwest during Thursday ahead of conditions more widely becoming wetter and windier by the weekend. A return to periods of rain followed by showers, often accompanied by strong winds looks likely for the rest of the month, with the potential for weather warnings or even a named storm at some point before the month is out. Temperatures at least should recover in most places, ending up near average or even a little above, though admittedly not feeling like it at times.

The start of February is likely to continue on an unsettled and relatively mild theme, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating in most parts with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. Pressure may build across southern areas towards mid-month, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost.
