Otley (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Low cloud and rain overnight

This Evening and Tonight:

Overcast with widespread low cloud soon developing into the evening. Outbreaks of rain will spread northwards across the region during the night, some of which are likely to be heavy and persistent. Winds will remain generally light and variable. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Sunday:

Murky start with outbreaks of rain and low cloud, this gradually clearing eastwards from late morning with a few brighter, drier spells during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Monday starts settled, but a few isolated showers developing in the afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday become more unsettled with showers, some heavy at times, and temperatures turning cooler.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the evolution through this period, more so than normal, but overall it would appear that a changeable theme is most likely. Most places are therefore likely to see some rain or showers at times, but also some drier, brighter weather. The emphasis on wetter conditions may be more towards the south and east at first, with low pressure perhaps more likely towards the south or east of the UK, before shifting further north later in the period as low pressure becomes more likely to set up to the north or northeast of the UK. After a cold start to the period, especially in the north, temperatures are likely to return to around average later.

Low pressure systems are likely to dominate across the UK at the start of this period. This means showers or longer spells of rain are likely at times, heavy in places, with the wettest conditions probably towards the northwest. There will, however, probably be some dry and warm interludes, these more likely towards the south, although temperatures are likely to be close to normal overall. Later in the month, more settled and drier conditions may begin to develop, with temperatures perhaps rising above normal.
