Issued 11:30 Wednesday 10th September

Hi all,

The weather is still in a settled pattern with some warm, bright days and chilly, misty nights as high pressure is firmly in control.

Over the coming 4 days we don’t see much change from recent conditions and it will remain dry. Time to water the gardens perhaps?

Thursday will be dry and after a dull, misty start in places, some sunny spells will come through so feeling very pleasant in any sunshine. Highs of 19’C.

Probably a bit more stubborn cloud on Friday as the wind turns easterly dragging the cloud in. Again a dry day with some sunny spells. Highs of 18’C.

A dry weekend is promised but with quite a lot of cloud present. Where we do see some persistent cloud it will feel cool, but on the flip side, any sunny spells will make it feel pleasant. These conditions are expected through Saturday and Sunday with temperatures similar at 18’C. With more cloud, the night temperatures will not be as cool as previous days.

Looking ahead into next week and initially the dry, settled weather continues. However, from midweek the high pressure will have slipped away and a return to wet and unsettled weather looks likely to return.

Hi all,

High pressure has now taken charge of our weather bringing plenty of settled conditions across the region but just not as much sun as we’d wish for.

Thursday will be bright and in spells of sunshine it will feel very pleasant for the time of year. Light winds and more general cloud later. Highs of 21°C.

Friday will be cloudy with some brightness. Dry and with winds shifting to a cooler northeasterly direction we can expect highs of 19°C.

As we enter the weekend with the gentle breeze from the northeast, we will see yet more cloud and at times thicker.

Saturday and Sunday look similar. A mainly cloudy affair with some brightness but in some places the cloud might be thick enough to see some light drizzle especially during Saturday morning. Highs around 18°C but if you do see some prolonged brightness then maybe a degree or two higher.

Looking ahead the settled theme continues but the risk of showers might not be too far away.

August 2014: Warmest 20.6°C; Coldest 6.7°C; Wettest 32.6mm; Windiest 36mph; Total Rainfall 136.2mm.

Hi,

After a disappointing Bank Holiday the weather improved for a couple of days but it’s back to square one these next few days. For Thursday we see early rain then sunshine and afternoon showers. Highs of 19°C.

An area of low pressure is in charge now so Friday will see sunshine and showers with a keen wind. Some showers may merge to give longer spells of rain at times. Highs of 17°C.

It’s a slow, improving picture over the weekend.

Saturday will be a breezy day with bright spells and showers. Some heavy. Winds easing later. Highs of 18°C.

It looks drier as we head into Sunday so apart from the odd shower later on it will be a day of bright spells. Highs of 19°C.

Promising signs next week of plenty of dry weather as high pressure builds. Sunny spells across the region will see temperatures begin to rise so don’t put those BBQs away. Indian Summer?

Hi,

It was a chilly start to the week with northerly winds and the temperatures will stay slightly below average.

After a chilly start, Thursday will be bright but thickening cloud from the north will bring isolated showery rain. Some places staying dry. Cool with highs of 15°C.

Yesterday’s showers clear to a day of bright spells and occasional afternoon showers on Friday. Still not warm, highs of 16°C.

A cold start on Saturday but a promising day with sunny spells and generally dry with an outside chance of an early shower or two. Highs of 16°C.

Sunday looks a bright day with sunny spells turning hazy later. Risk of rain into the evening and overnight. Highs of 16°C.

Looking ahead for Bank Holiday Monday it looks like the Atlantic will feed us with showery rain from time to time and a little breezy. Highs of 16°C.

Hi all,

After the remnants of ex-Hurricane Bertha we can expect a couple of calmer days ahead but with rain still in the forecast.

With the aforementioned storm still sitting away to our north-east we can expect a cool day on Thursday with a brisk north-westerly wind feeding in showers across the region. Brighter and drier later. Highs of 17°C.

Friday we fair a little better with a drier day expected and less windy. Sunny spells and one or two showers well-scattered. Highs of 18°C.

The weekend sees Saturday looking the better day of the two.

Bright spells during Saturday and most places dry during daylight hours. More cloud into the late-afternoon and with rain expected late evening and overnight. Highs of 18°C.

Sunday early rain clears to sunshine and showers. Some heavy and frequent in places. A little breezy again. Cooler with highs of 16°C.

Looking ahead still no sign of a heatwave or any very warm weather returning as it remains cool for August with frequent showers.

Hi,

Ex-Tropical Storm anyone? 30% chance according to the Met Office (graphic).

After some rain yesterday, Thursday looks much better. Sunny spells across the region with just the chance of an afternoon shower. Pleasant with highs of 21°C.

Friday looks to be a mixed affair. Bright spells throughout the day but also with some showers in the afternoon which could merge to give longer spells of rain in the evening especially to the east. Highs of 19°C.

The weekend doesn’t promise much.

More showers on Saturday, some locally heavy but quite scattered. We are still in August so feeling nice in any periods of sunshine. Highs of 20°C.

It looks like Sunday will start bright but it is expected to turn wet and windy later on as rain spreads from the south-west. This will be heavy in places. This is actually the remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha so one to keep an eye on regarding high rainfall amounts and windy conditions. The track of this “storm” could change, and even miss the UK, so watch for updates on Twitter. Highs of 19°C.

Looking ahead into next week. Not much change but hopefully something more settled in the latter part of the week. No signs of a summer heatwave.

Hi,

July has been a decent month but as we enter August the weather is set to turn unsettled with periods of showery rain.

Thursday will see some bright spells but also with a north-westerly breeze. This will introduce some scattered showers especially later in the day. Highs of 20°C.

Friday will see low pressure taking charge so expect frequent spells of showery rain with bright spells in between. Thunder a possibility. Cooler and breezy at times. Highs of 19°C.

Not much improvement over the weekend.

Saturday sees showers at times continuing and some prolonged periods of rain are possible, again don’t rule out some thunder. Feeling cool and breezy. Either side of the showers some bright spells are possible. Highs of 18°C.

Unsettled conditions stay in place for Sunday with little change. Bright spells either side of showers which might ease slightly later. Breezy. Highs of 19°C.

Looking ahead it continues unsettled with average temperatures with breezy and wet conditions at times.

Hi,

Hope you’re all enjoying this weather.

July continues to be a decent month of summery weather with little complaints even after a stormy awakening on Saturday morning.

Thursday sees the lovely hot weather continue. It will remain dry with plenty of sunshine. Highs of 26°C but humid. Possibly misty overnight.

After a warm night’s sleep, Friday remains muggy with very warm sunny spells after any low cloud clears. There is an outside chance of a hefty late-afternoon shower. Highs of 26°C.

With it being July don’t forget sunscreen. In weather like this you will burn easily as UV levels are close to their UK high of 7.

Saturday will see more cloud especially later on. After any early cloud lifts it will be very warm with bright spells. We can’t rule out the risk of a heavy shower later in the day, as clouds build, but most places dry. Cooler evening. Highs of 24°C.

It looks like Sunday will be cooler with some sunny spells but with showers likely in the afternoon and evening. Highs down at 21°C.

Looking ahead it seems next week will be a little cooler but still quite settled with bright spells.

Hi all,

So the temperature has begun to rise and so has the humidity. But as per the norm in the UK, it won’t last and could end with a bang or two of thunder!

As we go into Thursday expect sunny spells and it remaining dry in most places. A decent day but feeling noticeably humid. Very warm with highs of 24’C.

After a warm uncomfortable night, Friday will see the hottest day of the year so far. We will see more cloud in the morning and also more sultry air coming up from the south but with it, the risk of a thundery showers especially early on. Brighter later and hot. Highs of 28’C.

The weekend looks showery but less hot.

Saturday sees a risk, especially to the east, of heavy thundery showers breaking out with possible thunder and hail. Bright spells can’t be ruled out, especially in the morning. Much cooler with highs of 22’C.

Similar on Sunday. Heavy but more scattered showers during the day with possible thunder again. In between, some warm bright spells. Highs of 22’C.

Looking ahead it remains warm with temperatures above average but with some scattered, heavy showers. There is a chance of another very warm spell coming up from the South.

Hi,

It’s an interesting forecast this week as warmer, humid air pushes in from the east which will produce some lively showers as air masses meet.

Thursday will be a sunny day and feeling pleasant especially so during the morning. Cloud spilling in later in the day as rain spreads in from the east in the evening with some heavier bursts, especially over the hills. Highs of 20’C.

As we head into Friday the rain band will move west and introduce much more warmer and humid air. It will feel very pleasant indeed in any sun but we can expect the warmth to trigger off some scattered heavy, thundery showers. A warm night ahead. Highs of 22’C.

Saturday will remain humid and feeling very warm in any sunshine. Expect a day of bright spells and scattered showers which will be heavy and possibly thundery. Highs of 22’C.

At the moment it looks likely that Sunday will be a little fresher, as winds are westerly. The bright spells and scattered showers theme continues, and heavy. Less humid with highs of 20’C.

Next week: Sunny spells and showers. Temperatures around average.
