West Bowling (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Feeling warm or very warm in sunny spells.

Today:

High cloud will drift in at times, but for many it will be a day of prolonged sunshine, although the odd isolated shower may develop during the afternoon. Feeling very warm or hot in light winds, cooler along the coast. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tonight:

A fine evening for many in the late sunshine. Any lingering high cloud gradually clearing overnight, with widespread clear skies developing. Light winds continue, feeling humid. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Friday:

Clear skies and prolonged sunshine throughout Friday. Feeling very warm or hot as light winds continue, although feeling slightly cooler along the coast once again. Maximum temperature 31 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Very warm or hot through the weekend, with prolonged sunshine continuing. Coastal regions staying a touch cooler, perhaps cloudy too at times. Feeling fresher on Monday, with rain arriving late.

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.
