Penrith (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Largely dry, sunny and very warm this week.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine and dry evening will lead to a largely clear night. Some patchy low cloud may develop later, mainly in the east. Gradually cooling to leave a mild night, still feeling warm for some. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Tuesday:

Another dry and very warm day expected, although perhaps a little more cloud around compared to recent days, particularly in the south. Winds lighter adding to the very warm feel. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Largely dry and settled throughout, with plenty of sunshine. Temperatures are expected to stay very warm by day and warm by night.

High pressure is likely to remain close to the UK into this period, and likely centred to the west or northwest of the country. This means plenty more dry weather for most if not all parts, though with the source region of the air being the North Atlantic, somewhat cooler, or at least less hot, conditions are expected, compared to many recent days. Towards the latter part of July, the influence of high pressure may wane somewhat, allowing a greater chance of rain, showers or thunderstorms compared to earlier in the month. Overall, temperatures are expected to remain above average during this period.

Perhaps a somewhat more changeable period, with the potential for showers or thunderstorms or even some longer spells of rain at times. Drier and brighter interludes are also likely, perhaps more likely across the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above normal with some hot spells possible.
