North East England

Headline:

Mist and fog patches developing overnight

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine evening with light winds, variable cloud and clear spells. Mist and fog patches are likely to develop in any prolonged clear periods. Chilly, but temperatures around average for the time of year. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Saturday:

Some patchy mist and fog to start, soon clearing to leave a fine day with plenty of sunny spells and light winds. Patchy rain will then arrive overnight. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudy to start with patchy rain, but a fine end to Sunday. Fine and dry on Monday before a cloudier day on Tuesday. Temperatures around average. Generally light winds.

High pressure is set to dominate across the UK early in this period, bringing a lot of dry weather. Some places may start foggy, this slow to clear, possibly even lingering all day. Elsewhere, cloud amounts will be variable, but there should be some sunshine. Cloud may be thick enough at times for a little light drizzle though. For most, temperatures are likely to be close to normal for the time of year, though it will be chilly where any fog lingers. Some overnight frost is likely where skies are clear and winds remain light. As we head into the following week, there are signs that more unsettled weather may return, but confidence surrounding this change is low.

During the second half of November, there is an increasing chance of changeable or more unsettled conditions developing, which would mean spells of rain and the potential for strong winds at times. The extent and location of the wettest and/or windiest areas are very uncertain at this range, with the wettest and windiest weather probably towards the north and west, but there are hints that overall the south may be wetter than normal whilst the northwest is drier than normal, suggesting the possibility that areas of low pressure may be steered further south than normal. Overall, temperatures will probably be near or a little above normal for the time of year.
