Loftus (SAMOS) (Redcar and Cleveland) weather

Headline:

Cloudy for most, with light winds.

Today:

Cloudy, but mostly dry. Although the odd spot of drizzle remains possible near coasts at first and across hills throughout, where cloud will be low enough to bring periods of hill fog. Some limited brighter spells developing later. Light winds. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Variable cloud and clear spells. Low cloud will lead to hill fog in places, while clear spells could allow for patches of fog to develop at lower levels by dawn. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Thursday:

Little change expected, with many parts cloudy but also a few brighter, perhaps briefly sunny intervals. Hill fog is likely, with drizzle also possible, mainly coasts and hills. Light winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rather cloudy Friday and Saturday, with further hill fog, some limited drizzle, and isolated brighter intervals. Perhaps a few showers near coasts Friday. Winds strengthening Sunday with rain spreading east.

A rather unsettled pattern is likely through much of this period, as low pressure systems originating over the North Atlantic trundle east or northeastwards across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times, but also interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, albeit these generally of shorter duration than the recent settled spell. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic to the west, and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average overall, although may trend slightly below normal later

It is likely to be changeable at first, with a showery northwesterly regime most favoured across the UK. Into November, an unsettled pattern is anticipated, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track across the UK. These may be shifted farther south than normal, bringing showers or longer spells of rain fairly widely, perhaps also accompanied by some strong winds at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
