Bell's Close (Newcastle upon Tyne) weather

Headline:

Mainly fine with sunny spells.

Today:

Bright and breezy, with sunny spells. Cloud will be a little more prevalent in the west, bringing the chance of fleeting light showers here, before becoming generally dry later. Brightest in the east, with temperatures near average generally. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Dry during the evening and overnight, with temperatures dipping under lengthy clear periods, before rallying later as the breeze strengthens. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Saturday:

Fine at first, but breezy and soon becoming cloudy as a weakening band of rain edges southeast. Becoming brighter during the afternoon, leaving a fine end to the day. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Temperatures climbing during this period, becoming very warm into the new working week. Some sunshine expected, although on the cloudy side at times, with sporadic thundery showers becoming more likely.

The rather changeable pattern of preceding days will likely still be in place across northwestern areas of the UK at first. Further southeast, predominantly fine, with a spell of hot weather looking increasingly likely at the start of this period. Much of England could see high temperatures for at least a couple of days and there is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south, where there is also the possibility of some thunderstorms. Beyond this, probably a resumption of widely somewhat cooler, fresher conditions, with a lot of dry weather to be had in the south under the influence of high pressure. Meanwhile a rather more changeable and breezier theme will continue further to the north.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely at first. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for further hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By the turn of the month, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, possibly more likely in the south at first, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
