Eccleston (Lancashire) weather

Headline:

Winds continue to ease, with showers through Sunday.

Today:

A changeable day with sunny spells and a chance of showers, though these turning lighter and more scattered later. Increasingly cloudy through the afternoon. Still rather windy but easing slowly through the day. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining rather cloudy overnight, especially across Cumbria, with outbreaks of patchy rain. Winds continue to slowly ease, though remaining blustery at the coasts and over hills. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Monday:

A cloudy start with patchy rain and drizzle. Drier through the afternoon with bright or sunny spells. A little breezy in exposed spots, but lighter winds than Sunday. Feeling milder. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Mainly dry to start on Tuesday, though increasingly cloudy with chance of some light rain later. Remaining cloudy on Wednesday with showery rain possible, but turning brighter on Thursday.

On Thursday, the south of the UK will see residual patchy light rain and drizzle clear to the southeast during the day, with skies then brightening. The north of the UK, especially northwest Scotland, will also see some rain and drizzle, and it will be rather windy here. The rest of the country will be dry and bright with some sunshine and fairly light winds. Thereafter, high pressure is expected to dominate for most if not all of the rest of the period, bringing plenty of dry, settled weather. Cloud amounts will be variable, and some overnight fog is likely, this slowly clearing through the morning. Thicker cloud and some rain may affect the far north at times though. Temperatures will be near average, but with some chilly nights possible.

The latter half of October will likely see a transition to more widely unsettled conditions again, though the timing of this is uncertain. Whether this takes the form of successive depressions moving in from the Atlantic or a rather slower-evolving weather pattern remains to be seen, but there is a greater chance of more places seeing more frequent spells of rain or showers and possibly strong winds later in the month, these conditions continuing into the start of November. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall.
