Morecambe No2 (Lancashire) weather

Headline:

Blustery with rain at times today. Some brighter weather tomorrow.

Today:

Blustery with patchy light rain giving way to heavy and persistent rain for the afternoon. Windy in many coastal regions and over the hills with a chance of gales in exposed spots. Not as mild, but temperatures still above average. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Tonight:

Rain should become confined to southernmost areas during the evening and overnight, with drier, though still rather cloudy weather elsewhere. Winds becoming light. Cooler than last night, but frost free. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

Southern areas could see occasional outbreaks of rain on Friday. Further north it looks mostly dry, with brighter breaks. Very mild with light winds, though feeling cooler in any rain. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Overnight rain, perhaps with some hill snow, giving way to brighter skies on Saturday. Turning damp and windy on Sunday. Brighter, but still showery and breezy on Monday. Briefly cooler.

This period will start with cloud, rain and strong winds affecting northern and western parts of the UK on Monday. The cloud and rain is expected to ease and clear to the southeast during Tuesday as high pressure builds in from the west. There is now a signal for high pressure to be largely dominant through the rest of this period. This will mean many places seeing plenty of dry weather with variable cloud amounts and some sunshine, but perhaps with some fog overnight. Frontal systems may still graze the north and west of the UK at times though, maybe also briefly affecting other parts. Temperatures will be near or above normal, although patchy overnight frost is still likely at times.

After a potentially mainly dry and settled start to this period, changeable conditions look likely to resume, with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK at times. These will bring spells of rain and perhaps strong winds, with the wettest conditions likely to be in the northwest, whilst the southeast will likely be driest. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above normal overall. It is possible that longer spells of dry weather develop again later in the month as a more blocked pattern could develop, which could lead to some colder conditions too, but confidence is very low by this stage.
