Grays (Thurrock) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud increasing from the north during the evening, but staying largely dry overnight, before perhaps some heavy showers develop in the southeast around dawn. Another warm and humid night. Minimum temperature 17 °C.

Wednesday:

A cloudy start across the region with thundery rain possibly affecting parts of Suffolk for a time. Brighter and mostly dry in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine, feeling fresher. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Thursday brings a fine day with plenty of dry and sunny weather. Another fine day of Friday with hazy sunshine. Turning unsettled on Saturday with cloud, wind, and occasional rain.

Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills, especially western Scotland where large rainfall totals may have built up by this time. Eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks, but with a risk of thundery showers, which could be slow moving at first. Likely turning cooler and more showery into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
