Stanks (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Rather cold and cloudy for many, with the east brightest.

Today:

Fine and frosty in parts of the east at first, with local freezing fog gradually clearing to some sunny spells. Otherwise on the cloudy side but mainly dry. Light winds. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining rather cloudy in places, however developing clear periods will allow a sharp frost in many areas and perhaps local freezing fog. Minimum temperature -5 °C.

Monday:

Probably rather more cloud around than previous days, with the best of limited brighter intervals again in the east. Temperatures rising slightly, with the odd spot of rain possible. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Probably remaining rather cold and often cloudy, with overnight frosts and local freezing fog the principal impactful weather. Perhaps very gradually becoming more unsettled by the end of the period.

A transition to a rather more changeable and at times unsettled weather pattern is likely to occur during the first few days of this period. Outbreaks of rain and freshening winds will probably make inroads from the southwest during Thursday ahead of conditions more widely becoming wetter and windier by the weekend. A return to periods of rain followed by showers, often accompanied by strong winds looks likely for the rest of the month, with the potential for weather warnings or even a named storm at some point before the month is out. Temperatures at least should recover in most places, ending up near average or even a little above, though admittedly not feeling like it at times.

The start of February is likely to continue on an unsettled and relatively mild theme, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating in most parts with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. Pressure may build across southern areas towards mid-month, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost.
