Distington (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

A few showers tonight, but drier for most.

This Evening and Tonight:

Scattered showers may linger through this evening and tonight, with a few heavy, thundery downpours in places. Clear spells developing for many though, with winds remaining light. Feeling warm and muggy, rather uncomfortable for sleeping. Minimum temperature 16 °C.

Friday:

Clouding over first thing with occasional heavy showers. Turning brighter later with more sunny spells developing through the afternoon. Feeling breezy along the coast but feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Unsettled. Showers may be heavy and blustery at times, carrying the risk of thunder and hail. Warm and humid in brighter periods, but temperatures suppressed under any persistent rain.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Tuesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to average out above normal with some humid conditions possible at times making it feel particularly warm in any sunshine. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through early August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. Towards mid-August, there are tentative signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing later in the period, especially further south and east.
