Ely (Cambridgeshire) weather

Headline:

Tuesday, some morning bright spells possible, turning cloudy later.

Today:

Some brief bright or sunny spells possible through the morning after any early fog clears. Cloud tending to thicken and lower once again from the southeast during the afternoon, however staying largely dry. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Overcast with rather extensive areas of low cloud forming, and covering hills. The odd patch of drizzle likely, with some outbreaks of light rain likely to develop later. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Wednesday:

Overcast with some outbreaks of rain likely, gradually turning drier later with clearer conditions arriving through the evening. Patchy frost and fog forming overnight. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Thursday, early frost with patchy fog. Rain band and stronger winds moving east later. Very windy Friday, turning brighter after a wet start, with strong winds easing into Saturday.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall, are likely to end up being around normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
