Sedgefield (Durham) weather

Headline:

Early cloud clearing to sunny spells.

Today:

Rather cloudy start for many, although low cloud quickly burning away through the morning. A fine day follows with warm sunny spells, but also some patchy higher cloud. Some lower cloud perhaps persisting along coasts. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Light winds at first with low cloud and coastal mist again spilling inland from the North Sea. Staying dry, although winds strengthening a little by dawn. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Friday:

A similar day to Thursday, with cloud clearing through the morning, to give good sunny spells. Perhaps feeling a little cooler due to a fresher north to northeasterly breeze. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Staying fine and largely dry, with plenty of sunny spells. Skies remaining clearer overnight, with winds more generally from the north, perhaps brisk along coasts on Saturday. Temperatures near normal.

Remaining predominantly dry for most parts of the country as high pressure is likely to remain close to the UK for much of this period. However, with the source region of the air being from the North Atlantic, it will be less hot compared to many recent days. Any showers during the start of the period are more likely across the far north. 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, these initially more likely across the north before possibly transferring south. 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.
