Maidstone (Kent) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

Windy at first, especially on coasts, but easing somewhat overnight. Dry with sunny spells for most parts this evening, then remaining dry overnight with clear spells. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Saturday:

A dry day with plenty of sunny spells, and starting to feel warm away from southern coastal strips where it may be breezy. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Mostly dry, bright and increasingly warm during this period. Perhaps some showers on Monday and Tuesday, but with temperatures potentially becoming very warm.

A changeable period is likely through the middle and latter part of next week with outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain focused across the north and especially west, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. Some strong winds may accompany this, mainly around coasts in the north and west. Through next weekend and into the following week, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most parts, and across the southeast in particular it could be very warm or hot at times, especially next weekend.

High pressure is expected to lie close to the UK at the start of this period, bringing largely settled and dry conditions. Temperatures will likely be above normal, with the potential for hot conditions to develop, especially in the south. Into July, the influence of high pressure may weaken or shift more to the north or west of the UK, bringing an increasing chance of more unsettled weather and thunderstorms, especially in the south. Temperatures will probably ease back closer to normal too, although some warm and humid spells are still possible at times.
