Pateley Bridge (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Cloud and rain moving in on Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

A cloudy evening to start before cloud breaking and clearing to give clear skies for most of the region by the morning. Winds light and variable, breezy along the coast. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Saturday:

Clear skies at first, before cloud thickens from the north later, with some patchy light rain moving southwards overnight. Feeling very warm. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain on Sunday, dry with sunny spells on Monday and through Tuesday. Turning hotter through next week.

A mixed start is likely to this period, with some rain or showers in the north and quite breezy conditions while in the south it will be mostly dry, sunny and hot, even very hot in some places. Southern parts are likely to turn cooler and fresher next weekend though. Further into August, areas of low pressure may start to track further south and east. This means there is a greater chance of frontal systems or thundery interludes affecting southern and eastern areas in comparison to recent weeks, though rainfall amounts could be quite variable with some areas still seeing relatively little. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south, where it may be very warm or hot at times.

The broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK seems most probable, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes likely, either resulting from Atlantic frontal systems moving east or thundery plumes possibly drifting north from the continent. This means that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
