Dale Head (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Warm and humid with patchy rain and some hill fog.

This Evening and Tonight:

The evening will start fine with some sunshine to end the day. However, cloud will increase from the northwest overnight, bringing patches of mist and fog, especially to the hills and parts of the coast. A warm and humid night. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Tuesday:

Tuesday will be rather cloudy with the odd patch of fog lingering over the hills. A few spots of rain are possible, with some heavier rain in the north later. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunshine and scattered showers on Wednesday, the showers perhaps locally heavy. Mostly fine thereafter, though feeling much fresher. Wet and breezy weather arriving from the west later on Friday.

Following a fine couple of days in the run up to this period, away from the far northwest where more persistent rain is expected to develop, a transition to something more unsettled countrywide looks likely. Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills whilst some eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks. Likely turning cooler and more showery later in the weekend and into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
