Keswick Youth Hostel (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with further outbreaks of rain tonight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Increasingly cloudy this evening as a band of widespread rain pushes northwards, bringing heavy downpours at times. Fog over hills. The rain will clear during the early hours, though staying mostly cloudy through the rest of the night. Feeling mild. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Monday:

After a cloudy start, we should see the cloud break up for a time through the day, allowing some brighter spells. However, the odd patch of light rain remains possible. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

With high pressure building, it is likely to remain settled through this period, but often cloudy. Gradually turning colder come Christmas Day as an easterly breeze picks up.

Continued mostly settled conditions expected, as high pressure builds to the north of the UK. This will bring a strengthening easterly then northeasterly wind over the period, with wind-chill making it feel colder. Whilst there will be a fair amount of dry weather, a few showers will still be possible, particularly across eastern and southern parts which may be wintry in places, more especially over high ground. High pressure will likely dominate the weather in the run up to the New Year, slowly drifting to the west. This will maintain largely settled conditions, although with an increasing chance of showery conditions later in the period. Temperatures will be below average much of the time, with frost likely where clear skies and light winds prevail.

High pressure will probably be close to the UK at the start of this period, perhaps most likely centered to the west, and whilst this may allow relatively settled and dry conditions with a risk of frost and fog initially, there will be the chance of some occasional wet weather at times, perhaps more especially in the north and east. Given some relatively cold air close to the UK, this may bring the chance of some wintry hazards in places. Towards mid-month, there is the potential for rather more changeable conditions to develop more widely, although confidence in this aspect of the forecast is currently low.
