Ferryhill (Durham) weather

Headline:

Cloud will spread inland during the evening. Light winds.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine evening for much of the region. Overnight, low cloud is expected to spread inland from North Sea coasts, leading to misty or foggy conditions. Some patchy drizzle is possible, but most areas will remain dry. Light winds. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Thursday:

A dull start, particularly for coastal areas. Cloud will gradually lift and break to give an afternoon of brighter spells. Low cloud feeding inland again overnight. Winds remaining light. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Cloudy start Friday, brighter later. Bright and breezy Saturday. Chance of outbreaks of rain and showers, mainly over western hills. Sunday fine with sunny spells. Temperatures near or above average.

Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog. This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
