Earby Youth Hostel (Lancashire) weather

Headline:

A mainly dry week ahead and very warm or hot.

Today:

Mainly dry today with plenty of hazy sunshine, once early drizzle has cleared Cumbria. Very isolated afternoon heavy showers are possible this most likely in Pennine regions. Humid, especially in the north and feeling very warm in southern counties. Maximum temperature 27 °C.

Tonight:

Mostly fine and warm this evening but an isolated shower is possible. Mainly dry overnight but thundery showers may develop later. Staying warm making for an uncomfortable night for sleeping. Minimum temperature 17 °C.

Tuesday:

Some cloud through the morning with perhaps the odd thundery shower. Temperatures quickly rising with sunnier skies spreading north through the afternoon. Humid for many, especially hot in the south. Maximum temperature 31 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Probably staying hot and mostly sunny on Wednesday with isolated thunderstorms later. Cloudier and somewhat fresher on Thursday with heavy showers possible. Dry and warm on Friday with sunny spells.

High pressure will likely build leading to a period of fairly dry and settled weather for many at first, with a few light showers in the north. There may however be some heavy, thundery showers over the weekend, especially in the south. Temperatures will likely remain above normal, and much of the south could still see warm or very warm temperatures for at least a couple of days. There is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south. Beyond this high pressure will likely continue leading to plenty of fine weather, perhaps with the odd heavy shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures will likely continue to be above normal but there are some signs of fresher conditions developing in the north later.

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 but there may be some fresher interludes in the north at first. There remains 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, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
