Saffron Walden Youth Hostel (Essex) weather

Headline:

Plenty of sunny spells developing.

Today:

Patchy low cloud at first, but this will soon burn back to the coast during the morning, leaving plenty of sunshine for the rest of the day. Breezy northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Tonight:

Areas of low cloud will move westwards from the coast overnight with perhaps some isolated light drizzle, but most areas likely remaining dry. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Tuesday:

Another cloudy start, but similar to Monday cloud will burn back towards the coast to leave plenty of sunny spells for the rest of the day. Maximum temperature 31 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Largely dry through this period, with cloud developing overnight, burning back to coasts by day to give sunny spells. Becoming very warm or hot inland once more, cooler near coasts.

High pressure is likely to remain close to the UK into this period, and likely centred to the west or northwest of the country. This means plenty more dry weather for most if not all parts, though with the source region of the air being the North Atlantic, somewhat cooler, or at least less hot, conditions are expected, compared to many recent days. Towards the latter part of July, the influence of high pressure may wane somewhat, allowing a greater chance of rain, showers or thunderstorms compared to earlier in the month. Overall, temperatures are expected to remain above average during this period.

Perhaps a somewhat more changeable period, with the potential for showers or thunderstorms or even some longer spells of rain at times. Drier and brighter interludes are also likely, perhaps more likely across the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above normal with some hot spells possible.
