Clayton (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells developing for many Wednesday, after early low cloud.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers will fade during the evening, leaving clear spells for a time, and perhaps slight grass frost in prone spots. Becoming breezier later in the night, with areas of low cloud and fog perhaps moving into some northern coastal districts. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Early fog and low cloud mainly affecting some coastal districts gradually clearing to warm sunny spells and perhaps the odd shower, before low cloud re-encroaches more widely during the evening. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Thursday similar to Wednesday. Friday fine at first, but becoming breezier ahead of a spell of rain arriving into Saturday morning, probably brightening again later. Temperatures trending upwards,

Starting off with something of a northwest to southeast split; higher pressure located towards the southeast should bring fine and increasingly warm conditions across at least southern UK, whilst there is a greater chance of periods of cloud, rain and stronger winds affecting the north. There will be fine weather here at times as well too however. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country early next week, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
