Ilford (Greater London) weather

Headline:

Fine with sunny spells.

Today:

A fine day, with plenty of warm sunny spells and with light winds expected throughout. Some fair weather cloud developing, and perhaps more generally cloudy for a time early and late. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Staying fine, with evening sunny spells leading into overnight clear spells, although cloud amounts should generally increase with time. Widely staying warm, with light winds. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Saturday:

Although staying fine, generally cloudier than previous days in most areas, with the best of warm sunny intervals likely in the south and west. Temperatures near normal, with light winds. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Mainly fine, with more in the way of sunshine than preceding days and with temperatures climbing. Probably becoming cloudier and more unsettled from the west later Tuesday.

Majority of this period comes with lower than average confidence, even accounting for the long range. This is due to large uncertainties surrounding the behaviour of ex-hurricane Erin at the beginning of the forecast and its subsequent impact on the large scale weather pattern over the UK. Probably beginning fine for the vast majority of areas, but a band of rain, already in or threatening the west, is likely to move slowly east, perhaps preceded by showers in the south. More changeable weather is likely thereafter, possibly even at times unsettled, with more in the way of rain, showers and stronger winds than recently. Starting off warm, especially in the south and east, but temperatures are likely to dip nearer to average for most of the rest of the period.

Most signs indicate low pressure could dominate, and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. This brings potential for periods of strong winds and spells of rain, but with spells of fair weather in between. Confidence through this period, however, is low. Temperatures are likely to be near to, or slightly above average overall.
