Sunny spells and showers

Today:

Cloud and rain first thing will quickly clear to give a bright day with plenty of sunny spells. Showers will likely affect the Pennines throughout, becoming more generalised across the area from late morning. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Showers dissipating into the evening with some good clear spells initially. Cloud then building later in the night with rain arriving into Wednesday morning. Winds easing. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Wednesday:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain through much of the morning, but turning brighter into the afternoon as some sunny spells develop. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Unsettled for much of this period with outbreaks of rain or showers, with best of any sunshine most likely on Friday. Windy on Thursday but easing through Friday.

The broadly unsettled conditions look to continue during the first part of this period. All areas are likely to see some further spells of wet and at times windy weather, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. By the start of the following week, a ridge of high pressure may extend eastwards towards the UK, bringing an increasing chance of longer periods of drier weather to northern areas initially, whilst low pressure remains closer to the south or southeast. Towards the end of this period, high pressure may be rather more dominant across the UK. A cooler interlude is likely for a time through next week, with chilly nights and fog patches likely under the influence of high pressure. Temperatures probably return closer to average by late September.

Signals for prevailing weather patterns become fairly limited by the turn of the month and the early part of October. As is typical at this time of year, there are likely to be some spells of wet and windy weather along with some drier interludes but no strong preference to whether settled or unsettled regimes will be most dominant. Overall, northwestern parts are more likely to be wettest and windiest. Temperatures likely fluctuating around average.
