Esk Hause (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Rain moving southeastwards through today and tonight.

Today:

A rather grey and murky start but some spells of sunshine will develop, especially across the south. A band of rain will move into Cumbria before spreading a little further southeast during the afternoon. Feeling warm and muggy. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight:

The band of rain will continue to move southeastwards this evening, turning heavy in places. Turning drier by dawn with some clearer spells developing. Another muggy night to come. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Saturday:

A cloudy start with some spots of rain, especially over the hills. The cloud will break up throughout the morning, leading to a much brighter afternoon. Feeling a tad fresher. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

High pressure builds across the region bringing plenty of dry and sunny weather throughout the period. Temperatures increasing by day and night with some very warm and humid conditions developing.

Probably a north-south split at the start of this period. Many areas in the south will be mainly fine and dry with temperatures well above normal, albeit with a small risk of a few showers or thunderstorms at times. In the north, changeable with some showers or spells of rain, perhaps heavy at times, and temperatures near normal, although with drier, brighter periods also. Into late June, high pressure may begin to build with conditions becoming more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for many areas.

High pressure patterns are slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during this period, meaning settled and drier than average conditions are most probable. However, there is still a chance of some changeable, more unsettled conditions could develop at times, and a risk of some heavy and thundery showers. Temperatures are likely to be above normal, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing.
