Wild Boar Fell (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Any mist and fog patches soon lifting and clearing to leave a largely fine and dry day with plenty of warm sunshine, though cloudier at times in the far south. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Cloudy to start on Thursday, then dry with sunny spells but feeling cooler. Sunny intervals on Friday before turning more unsettled with outbreaks of rain moving in from the west.

As we head into the bank holiday weekend and following week, a change in weather type is expected as unsettled conditions develop, with weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. The change is likely overspread most areas through Saturday, with many seeing spells of rain and low cloud, and it will feel humid. This will herald a changeable spell as further systems come east. Drier and brighter intervals are likely between systems but with showers, some of which could be heavy / thundery. The wettest weather will tend to be toward the west. Temperatures will probably be close to average, perhaps slightly above at times, but will feel fairly cool in the often strong winds.

Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June although with time a trend toward longer settled spells seems likely. So spells of wet weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods these drier periods may become more prevalent as we had further into June. Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still possible, as normal for the time of year.
