Blencathra (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Turning drier and brighter by Friday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Largely dry for most, with an isolated shower possible across Cumbria. Clear spells for most overnight with the odd patch of mist or fog forming in prone spots by dawn. A little cooler than last night. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Friday:

Any early mist and fog soon clearing, leaving a dry day for most with a mixture of bright or sunny spells. Still breezy, especially over the hills and coasts. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

High pressure will bring a generally dry weekend with sunny spells, but still rather breezy on Saturday. Showers possible on Monday. Feeling warmer with temperatures rising above average.

The rather changeable pattern of preceding days will likely still be in place across northwestern areas of the UK at first. Further southeast, predominantly fine, with a spell of hot weather looking increasingly likely at the start of this period. Much of England could see high temperatures for at least a couple of days and there is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south, where there is also the possibility of some thunderstorms. Beyond this, probably a resumption of widely somewhat cooler, fresher conditions, with a lot of dry weather to be had in the south under the influence of high pressure. Meanwhile a rather more changeable and breezier theme will continue further to the north.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely at first. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for further hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By the turn of the month, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, possibly more likely in the south at first, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
