Yorkshire & Humber

Headline:

Warm and bright with light winds.

Today:

Varying amounts of cloud, this perhaps thick enough to produce a very isolated light shower. Still bright or sunny spells will occur, and most places will be dry and warm with light winds, these onshore along the coast. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Tonight:

Dry with patchy cloud and clear periods, along with very light winds. There is a chance of a little patchy mist forming late tonight in rural areas. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Friday:

There will be varying, often large amounts, of thin cloud but still warm bright or sunny spells will occur. Slightly cooler along the coast with onshore winds. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry and bright Saturday, warm or very warm. Sunday sunny intervals and scattered showers, and feeling noticeably cooler. Monday generally dry, with bright or sunny spells and average temperatures.

A changeable period is likely overall, with many areas likely to see a mixture of bright or sunny spells and some rain at times. Northwestern areas are more likely to see the focus of rainfall, but southeastern areas should also see some showers. Confidence becomes lower into the start of August, but there are hints that high pressure could return for a time, which would mean dry conditions resuming, especially in the south. Winds will be mostly light or moderate, but occasionally fresh or strong around some coasts, mainly in the north and west. Temperatures will be near or above normal, warmest in the south, and perhaps becoming very warm again by the start of August.

Higher pressure is considered generally more likely than lower pressure through August. This means settled and dry weather will more likely prevail, especially across the south. Some rain is still likely at times, especially across northern and western areas. Although many areas may see mainly dry weather for the much of the period, occasional summertime thunderstorms are possible on some days given the right ingredients. Winds are expected to be generally light to moderate, and occasionally fresh around coastal areas. Temperatures will very likely remain above normal, with potential for further hot spells, particularly in the south.
