Broughton Mills (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Increasingly warm into the weekend.

Today:

Early mist and low cloud will soon lift and burn away through the morning, leaving plenty of bright or sunny skies. Light winds for all and feeling very warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Tonight:

Dry and fine with plenty of late sunshine and clear skies for many overnight. Humid and muggy for all, with mist and patchy fog forming more readily in the west. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Friday:

Widely dry and fine with any early mist and fog soon burning away. Very warm or hot, especially in sheltered, sunny spots with light winds for all. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

High pressure continues to dominate this weekend, with warm, strong sunshine by day and humid, rather muggy nights. Turning cooler and cloudier from Monday, with the chance of a shower.

The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
