Boroughbridge (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Dry and largely cloudy. Feeling cold.

Today:

Dry and largely cloudy, although the cloud will thin and break at times to give some brighter spells, especially away from the coast. A light to moderate northeasterly wind, locally gusty at first, especially the lee of hills. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

It will remain dry and largely cloudy overnight. There are likely to be occasional clear spells in the west. Patchy frost possible. Winds easing. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Wednesday:

Dry and largely cloudy at first, with some bright or sunny spells developing in the afternoon, especially away from the coast. Light winds. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

High pressure brings settled but rather cloudy conditions. Some patchy drizzle at times, especially Thursday. Overnight fog or freezing fog patches and frost likely becoming more prevalent. Remaining rather cold.

High pressure will likely weaken into the weekend, allowing occasional bands of rain to make progress southeastwards across parts of the UK. While there may be an attempt for high pressure to rebuild at times, especially in the south, the more likely scenario is for an unsettled regime to dominate for much of next week, with occasional spells of rain followed by blustery showers, these most frequent and perhaps wintry at times in the northwest. It may be quite windy at times too, especially towards the north, while southern areas have a greater chance of some lengthier drier and perhaps more settled spells, although even here it may still be rather breezy. Temperatures will vary around average, with oscillations between colder and milder interludes.

Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially the north and northwest of the UK. Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north. However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog.
