Robin Hoods Bay (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Dull with widespread mist and fog slow to clear. Mild.

Today:

Extensive low cloud will see mist and fog persist throughout the morning with slight improvements through the afternoon. Drizzly outbreaks at times, especially over western parts. Mild, with light winds. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Tonight:

Areas of mist and fog are expected to reform readily during the evening, becoming widespread overnight with patchy drizzle. Winds remaining light. Temperatures falling away under any clearer skies. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Saturday:

Another dull start with fog clearing to a few bright spells. A band of cloud will move southwards from late afternoon, perhaps bringing some light rain overnight. Clearer by dawn. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Variable cloud and bright spells Sunday. Increasingly cloudy and blustery Monday before wet and windy weather makes erratic southwards progress Tuesday with a risk of heavy downpours and hill snow.

An erratic change from the mild and largely settled conditions of the past few days is expected. Rain, stronger winds and some snow already across Scotland may on Tuesday become more severe and start to push southwards through the middle part of next week, bringing a chance of snow to other parts of the UK, along with colder conditions more widely. A period of more settled weather then seems probable later next week, with a gradual recovery in temperatures to nearer average for the time of year, perhaps even mild. Beyond this, a fairly changeable picture is most likely although confidence in details is, as usual at this range, very low. Wettest/windiest weather in the north and west, whilst the south and east will probably remain more settled overall.

Confidence in this period is fairly low, but continuing from the previous period, there remains a chance of rather unsettled and cool conditions continuing at first, with the wettest conditions perhaps focussed more over the south (still with a risk of snow on the northern edge), with sleet and snow showers further north. Then, through the rest of January, something more climatological could return with the wettest and coolest conditions further north, and with higher pressure further south, it is more likely to be drier, and at times milder here than elsewhere.
