Cavendish (Suffolk) weather

Headline:

Cloudy for most, perhaps a few brighter spells later.

Today:

Mostly dry and cloudy, although the odd spot of drizzle possible near northern coasts, perhaps spreading south and west through the afternoon. A few brighter or sunny spells are possible, mainly across Essex and Suffolk, however these are low confidence. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Tonight:

Staying cloudy for most, with outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. These gradually easing away after midnight, with some clear spells inland perhaps allowing mist or fog patches to develop. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Thursday:

Any early fog patches gradually lifting. Variable but often persistent cloud, with sunny spells most likely in the north and east. A few showers perhaps grazing the Essex coast. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rather cloudy Friday and Saturday, with further hill fog, some limited drizzle, and isolated brighter intervals. A few light showers possible Friday. Winds strengthening Sunday with rain spreading east.

A transition to more unsettled conditions than of late is expected at the start of this period, as low pressure from the Atlantic moves gradually eastwards across the UK. This will bring an increasing chance of rain or showers fairly widely, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times. It is likely to remain fairly changeable as further pulses of rain or showers affect parts of the UK through much of this period, but interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes. Towards the following weekend, and final week of October, high pressure may build to the west of the UK, and with low pressure to the east this may lead to a cooler and slightly drier northwesterly flow with a few showers.

It is likely to be changeable at first, with a showery northwesterly regime most favoured across the UK. Into November, an unsettled pattern is anticipated, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track across the UK. These may be shifted farther south than normal, bringing showers or longer spells of rain fairly widely, perhaps also accompanied by some strong winds at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
