Durham I.C.G. (Durham) weather

Headline:

Turning warmer but a thundery breakdown later.

Today:

A cloudy start to the day but mostly dry, with spells of warm sunshine into the afternoon. The chance of a few light showers drifting in on the easterly breeze first thing. Light to moderate easterly breeze. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

A dry evening as cloud thickens and lowers overnight. A few spots of rain developing in the north for a time. Staying mild. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Wednesday:

Low cloud first thing, but will lift and break through the morning, bringing some brighter spells away from coastal areas. Thunderstorms possible by late afternoon. Another warm and humid day. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Changeable weather with spells of heavy rain, some thunderstorms and strong winds. Brighter intervals and scattered showers at times. Temperatures mostly near normal, feeling warm and humid in places.

An unsettled start to this period, as showers or longer spells of rain are possible across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely, perhaps with some thunderstorms too. It will likely remain changeable into early September, with rainfall amounts probably above average for the time year and the potential for some strong winds at times. However, some drier, more settled interludes could develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or hot spells are possible, especially in the south.

Most likely a continuation of the generally unsettled conditions at first with showers or longer spells of rain across many areas, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. However, there may still be some drier interludes at times. Further into September, drier weather may become more prevalent, especially in the south and southeast, with any more unsettled conditions tending to become more likely further north and northwest. Temperatures will probably be near normal at first but may become warmer later, with the possibility of some hot spells in the south.
