Spadeadam (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Cloudy start to the week but sunshine arriving later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Large amounts of cloud overnight, though occasional clear spells as well. The cloud may be thick enough to produce patchy light rain, but many should remain dry. Largely frost free away from the most sheltered rural areas. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Monday:

Fair amount of cloud around but this gradually breaking with sunnier spells emerging at times. Feeling on the chilly side under the cloud cover with a gentle easterly breeze. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Staying dry and settled with much sunnier conditions compared to recent days. Overnight frosts are likely at first, but temperatures rising by mid-week and feeling much milder in the sunshine.

Still fine for many at the start of this period but by Friday and into the weekend, there is an increasing likelihood that rain or showers will start to arrive from the south or west. Wetter weather will probably spread to all areas, at least for a time and could be accompanied by strong winds at times. Into the following week, unsettled conditions will probably continue across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain or showers are possible at times, these most likely across southern parts of the country. Temperatures are likely to be widely above average at the start of this period before probably falling back and then fluctuating around average for the remainder of the period.

Confidence is low, but blocked patterns are most probable for the first half of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and, depending on their location, can result in extended periods of either dry conditions or, perhaps more likely, wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers. Either way, whilst temperatures overall may be near average, given the time of year this type of regime tends to increase the chance of periods of below average temperatures at times.
