Malham Youth Hostel (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Thursday, dry, fine and very warm. Light winds.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine evening for most in the late sunshine. Some patchy cloud for the western Pennines, perhaps spilling east in places, otherwise a clear night for most with light winds. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Thursday:

Any early cloud in the west quickly clearing to leave a very warm and sunny day. Sun perhaps turning hazier through the afternoon as high cloud drifts in. Humid overnight. Maximum temperature 27 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Fine and sunny through the period, becoming hot by day and humid at night, although feeling slightly cooler along the coast. Light winds.

The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
