Southchurch (Southend-on-Sea) weather

Headline:

Dry evening, turning wet and windy as Storm Éowyn arrives.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry evening with widespread clear spells and patchy ground frost potentially developing. Lighter winds for a time, however becoming wet and windy by the morning as Storm Éowyn arrives. Coastal gales are possible by dawn. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Friday:

Strong winds with coastal gales moving eastwards, this slowly easing during the afternoon. Rain clearing Friday morning, leaving a dry but mostly cloudy afternoon, possibly with some late sunny spells. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Lighter winds Saturday. Early rain clearing then sunny spells, showers later. Further strong winds and rain arriving Sunday. Windy, perhaps very windy, on Monday with rain or showers.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. On Tuesday another widely unsettled day is expected with showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes. Still windy but less so than over the previous few days. Through the rest of the period the strongest winds and heaviest rain will tend to move to the northwestern UK while the south may see more in the way of drier weather. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
