Burnham-on-Crouch (Essex) weather

Headline:

Warm sunny spells developing today, also a few heavy showers.

Today:

After a mostly cloudy and mainly dry start, isolated heavy, perhaps thundery showers develop across southern and western counties this afternoon. Staying dry across Norfolk with the best of the sunshine expected here, although feeling cooler given the onshore breeze. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Any showers quickly fading to leave a fine evening with some patchy coastal cloud. Turning more widely cloudy by the end of the night with some localised outbreaks of rain. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Thursday:

Morning cloud and patchy rain clearing to leave a widely dry and sunny afternoon, barring the odd coastal shower across Norfolk. Winds often light, but generally stronger towards the coast. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Fine on Friday with plenty of sunshine then occasional rain or showers this weekend, though often dry and bright by day. Feeling rather warm despite the more changeable conditions.

A much more unsettled period than of late with the whole of the UK likely to see showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes. For Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday it's likely a story of sunshine and showers. The showers will be heavier and more frequent in the west where it may also be windy, especially across the northwest. The east, especially the southeast may well see a good deal of dry weather. The rest of the week then sees further frontal systems run into the UK, bringing more widespread rain at times, but again some drier spells in-between these. Temperatures will probably be close to average, perhaps slightly above at times, but will feel fairly cool in the often strong winds.

Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June although with time a trend toward longer settled spells seems likely. So spells of wet weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods these drier periods may become more prevalent as we had further into June. Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still possible, as normal for the time of year.
