Halifax (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Rain spreading eastwards on Monday.

Today:

Largely dry with sunny spells during the morning, with perhaps a few scattered showers. Cloud increasing to bring outbreaks of rain eastwards across all parts during the afternoon. Temperatures generally near average. Breezy. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Rain, heavy at times, will continue to spread eastwards this evening and overnight, gradually clearing by dawn. Some clear spells developing in the far north. A mild night. Breezy. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Tuesday:

Tuesday will be largely dry with bright or sunny spells. Perhaps the odd light shower during the day. Feeling rather warm in the sunshine, with light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Dry with sunny spells Wednesday. Dry at first Thursday, before heavy thundery rain arrives from the south overnight. Further thundery downpours possible later Friday. Increasingly very warm and humid.

The start of this period is likely to be quite unsettled but also widely warm or very warm and humid, perhaps locally hot in parts of the south and east. Some rain or showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. Later in the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier but also cooler and fresher. Another brief spell of rain or showers may then affect some parts before high pressure likely builds in more firmly from midweek, and the rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and mostly warm or very warm. The north may be cloudier with some rain at times though.

High pressure looks like being largely dominant at first, maintaining plenty of mainly dry and warm weather, but with variable cloud amounts. However, although details are uncertain, late June and early July looks like becoming more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable at times, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
