Whickham Thorns Outdoor Centre (Gateshead) weather

Headline:

Dry with long clear spells overnight. A touch of frost.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine end to the day, with some prolonged evening sunshine. Staying dry with long clear spells and turning chilly, with a touch of ground frost in sheltered spots. Winds mostly light but becoming breezier along coasts and over hills. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Tuesday:

Dry, fine and warm, the sunshine perhaps turning hazier later. A brisk breeze, especially across hills and along the coast, giving a noticeably cooler feel here. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Mostly dry Wednesday, generally cloudier although still with warm bright or sunny spells. Lighter winds. Thursday colder, breezy with sunshine and showers. Friday, cloud, rain and stronger winds moving east.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern is rather more unclear. Some drier, brighter interludes will also occur and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Beyond mid-month, high pressure may become rather more dominant, bringing more in the way of drier and perhaps warmer weather, though this will be determined by the location and proximity of where any high is positioned relative to the UK.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
