Bridgefoot (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Cold, with plenty of bright or sunny spells.

Today:

A chilly start with widespread frost, and ice likely on untreated surfaces. A widely clear and dry day, with little cloud cover allowing plenty of sunny intervals. Feeling cold as brisk northerly winds continue. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining largely clear and dry, with little cloud cover in the west, however, patchy cloud pushes into eastern parts overnight. Winds easing overnight. Frost will reform under clear skies. Minimum temperature -3 °C.

Friday:

Another chilly start for many. Staying dry with clear skies and prolonged sunny spells. A return to slightly milder conditions with light winds, feeling pleasant in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Turning increasingly cloud and changeable from Saturday, as bands of rain and showers push eastwards across the region. Breezy at times, but feeling milder as temperatures return to near average.

Areas of cloud and showers affecting many eastern coastal counties at first, whilst showers in the far north could turn wintry for a time. Elsewhere, trending drier, a little cooler, and more settled as high pressure builds across from the Atlantic; these conditions are likely to steadily spread to all areas mid-next week. However, this settled interlude doesn't look like it will last too long, as cloud and rain bearing Atlantic systems arrive heralding a trend back towards more changeable, or even unsettled conditions. Towards the end of the period, an increasing chance of more settled spells once again, although confidence is very low by this point. Initially starting cold, temperatures should rise as the Atlantic weather systems arrive, and will probably more often be above average than below.

There is an increased chance of settled spells developing during early December, bringing more in the way of dry weather, light winds, and increased risk of overnight fog and frosts. This is associated with more frequent high pressure which will probably never be too far away to the north. Whilst spells of wind/rain still remain possible, they are likely to be less frequent than usual at first, but a steady increase in periods of unsettled weather across southern areas in particular seems likely as the period progresses. Overall, above average temperatures are slightly more likely, but colder spells, especially at first and in the north, could still occur. One or more spells of snow cannot be ruled out, should weather systems arriving from the south, push north into colder air.
