Great Borne (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Isolated showers but turning drier and sunny.

This Evening and Tonight:

Clear and dry for much of the night across the region with some patchy cloud across the north. Feeling fresh and rather cool for all. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Saturday:

Cloud will linger in the north first thing but will lift quickly. Bright and sunny into the afternoon, feeling pleasantly warm in the sun. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

High pressure remains in charge for the next few days. Although temperatures may dip slightly on Monday, they will start to climb again on Tuesday. Staying mostly dry throughout.

A mixed start is likely to this period, with some rain or showers in the north and quite breezy conditions while in the south it will be mostly dry, sunny and hot, even very hot in some places. Southern parts are likely to turn cooler and fresher next weekend though. Further into August, areas of low pressure may start to track further south and east. This means there is a greater chance of frontal systems or thundery interludes affecting southern and eastern areas in comparison to recent weeks, though rainfall amounts could be quite variable with some areas still seeing relatively little. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south, where it may be very warm or hot at times.

The broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK seems most probable, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes likely, either resulting from Atlantic frontal systems moving east or thundery plumes possibly drifting north from the continent. This means that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
