Hi,

It’s a quick weather blog this week as I’ve been out and about helping my dad do his garden in the beautiful sunshine. Glorious today, but will this weather continue? The answer is yes, in the short-term, but the warmest day of the year so far, on Wednesday, 19.4°C, close to my Match record of 19.6°C, won’t be troubled again for a while.

UV levels are now 3.

Thursday: There is likely to be a bit of low-cloud to start, but once this burns off, it should be another decent day with plenty of sunny spells and mostly light winds. Not as warm as Wednesday but still pleasant enough. Patchy ground-frost overnight. Max 17°C Min 3°C

Friday: There will be a weakening weather-front going down the eastern side of the UK and cloud from this could well get dragged in across the region meaning we start the day with low-cloud and fog on the tops. It will take a few hours but eventually this cloud again should burn away with the best of the sunshine in the west. Patchy ground-frost overnight. Max 16°C Min 3°C

Weekend: Morning cloud could be stubborn, otherwise decent. 

Saturday: We can expect another cloudy start and misty in a few places. The cloud will slowly break up during the day leading to some bright or sunny spells, especially the further west you are. If you do remain under the stubborn cloud which could be thick enough at times on the hilltops for drizzle temperatures will be suppressed. Max 15°C Min 3°C

Sunday: Expect a cooler day with clouds stubborn to clear, but with the breeze picking up later during the day, this should help the cloud clear and we should see some sunny spells come through once again and most places will be dry. Max 14°C Min 5°C

Outlook: The areas of high pressure that were over us during the past week will drift away. Will we see a bit of an influence from the Atlantic during Monday as cloud and a few showers push through the region, especially later in the day, as well as colder air. Hopefully on Tuesday a ridge of high pressure should settle things down briefly with just a few showers. A bit of uncertainty later in the week but it seems favourable to become more unsettled with weather systems coming in from the Atlantic. It will be a bit of a battleground however, as a high pressure system from the Azores will try and nudge northeastwards across the country. So as you can see, quite a lot of uncertainty. So stay tuned for updates. But it certainly won’t be as warm or as sunny as it has been this week.

Thanks as always, for popping by to read.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi all,

I’ve moaned a lot recently about the lack of sunshine and overall our weather continues to be cloudy. To be fair we haven’t had much rain this month and we have had more dry days than wet days but it’s sunshine that we want more of. Last Wednesday was decent and today isn’t too bad despite the wind but there’s some unsettled conditions on the way in this forecast.

Thursday: It’ll be a cloudy morning after any early brightness fades. Some patchy rain will develop but all eyes will be on a squall-line moving southeast. This will bring an intense band of rain and strong winds (warning in place) for a short period into the evening, followed by further heavy rain and then clearer and much colder conditions. Max 11°C Min 2°C Max Gusts 50mph

Friday: A much colder day on Friday and with it, still windy, so you will certainly feel this.  There will be bright spells and a few scattered showers. Some of the showers will contain hail and will be wintry especially on the hills. With winds falling light overnight and any showers easing, there will be a localised frost. Max 7°C Min 0°C Max Gusts 30mph

Weekend: A little unsettled especially on Sunday.

Saturday: A chilly start with a frost in places but overall during the day it’ll be less cold and also not as windy. A day of bright spells with cloud bubbling up inland with just the odd scattered shower. Max 8°C Min 3°C Max Gusts 20mph

Sunday: Unfortunately, it looks like an unsettled day with winds picking up once again and showers developing and becoming more widespread as the day goes on. Max 9°C Min 2°C Max Gusts 30mph

Outlook: Windy at times and also some unsettled days. Temperatures around or just above average.

Hi all,

Welcome to Spring. It’s nice to feel the warmth of the sun and nice to be able to start having lunch outside. It was a lovely day on Tuesday once we lost some of the high-cloud and it felt warm in the sunshine despite temperatures only reaching 12°C. More of that weather to come (you will have enjoyed Wednesday I hope) for most of Thursday, with temperatures rising further.

If you do have plans for Friday though, be aware that it will be much cooler again, even cold under the cloud and rain. But the outlook is promising. It looks like any prolonged rain will stay away to our north and west, and where we do see any brightness temperatures will respond. You know there’s always a cold spell around the corner in March, but at this present moment there is no sign of this arriving.

Thursday: A cracking day. Plenty of warm sunshine, turning hazy later and cloudier into the evening with temperatures dropping away and patchy rain arriving. Max 16°C Min 4°C Max Gusts 20mph

Friday: A totally different day. Cloudy and cold. There will be some rain at times, but it will be patchy and it will tend to dry up later in the day and cloud will eventually thin and break leading to a patchy frost overnight. Max 8°C Min 1°C Max Gusts 20mph

Weekend: Less cold. Some sunshine though. Mostly dry during daylight hours.

Saturday: Pleasant with bright or sunny spells. Tending to cloud over later in the day but it should remain dry until later with any patchy rain arriving after dark. Max 11°C Min 5°C

Sunday: A cloudy start with bright spells breaking through and it should be dry. Again, similar to Saturday clouds thickening later with some patchy rain into the evening. A little bit milder. Max 13°C Min 7°C

Outlook: Little change into next week with some cloudy days which could be thick enough at times for a bit of drizzle or a light rain shower. There will also be bright spells at times too and the temperatures will respond with any sunshine. It seems likely that it will turn a bit more unsettled as we head towards next weekend.
