Burnhope Seat (Durham) weather

Headline:

Some brighter or sunny spells but also showers, occasionally heavy.

Today:

Rather cloudy, but with some brighter or sunny spells. Showers developing through the day, most frequent in the west, where they could turn heavy with a very isolated rumble of thunder. Light winds, and feeling warm in any sunny spells. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Tonight:

Showers fading into the evening, with some clear spells likely. Low cloud, mist and the odd spot of drizzle then spreading inland from the North Sea. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Tuesday:

Cloudy start with outbreaks of light rain for some, although these easing by the afternoon. Cooler than recently, especially in the onshore breeze, but turning sunny from the east later. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Overnight cloud and mist clearing early Wednesday and Thursday to give some warm sunshine, but tempered by strong onshore breezes. Sunny spells and lighter winds Friday, but perhaps also showers.

During this period, conditions will probably be more changeable than they have been recently, with low pressure systems becoming more likely. This means an increasing chance of showers or longer spells of rain, with a risk of strong winds at times. Some dry spells with some warm sunshine are still likely at times too, with a risk of a few short-lived early morning fog patches. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly above normal.

Low pressure systems will probably 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 a risk of strong winds. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly below normal. Later in the month, more settled and drier conditions may begin to develop, with temperatures perhaps rising slightly above normal.
