Crinkle Crags (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Warm and sunny today and staying dry this coming week.

Today:

A cloudy start for some, mainly in Pennine regions, but gradually turning brighter with sunny spells developing. Otherwise, dry with blue skies and strong sunshine, this widespread by this afternoon. Temperatures quickly rising and feeling warm by this afternoon. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight:

Another sunny and warm evening, but low cloud returning from the east overnight, bringing mist and murk over the higher ground and perhaps the odd spot of drizzle. Staying mild. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Monday:

Some sunshine is likely on Monday, perhaps most likely across Cumbria, but overall a cloudier day to come with more widespread sunny spells possible by the evening. Feeling cooler. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

A dry and settled period of weather is expected with a mixture of cloud and sunny periods. Lower temperatures than of late but feeling warm in any sunshine.

High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first, initially centred near to Iceland, allowing a north to northeasterly airstream to affect much of the UK, leading to rather cool conditions. High pressure is likely to progress SE across the UK for a time, bringing widely fine and dry conditions and for some, an increase in temperatures, relative to the previous few days. Whilst this is happening a deep area of low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Tropical Storm Erin. The final week of August may see Atlantic weather systems progress over the UK, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain though.

Confidence in the details through this period is low. However, low pressure and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely, and with this comes the potential for stronger winds at times as well. Whether this takes the form of further low pressure systems running in from the Atlantic, or a rather more slowly evolving weather pattern with the potential for heavy showers is less clear. Temperatures are likely be near to above average overall.
