Swadlincote Ski Centre (Derbyshire) weather

Headline:

Mainly fine with some sunshine. Cloudier later.

Today:

Mainly fine after a chilly start generally and breezy conditions in the east. Sunny periods becoming increasingly hazy under high cloud during the afternoon, perhaps culminating in the odd spot of rain. Feeling cool. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

Clear spells at first gradually giving way to thickening cloud and eventually periods of rain from the west, with some heavier bursts in places by dawn. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Monday:

Early heavy rain moving east during the morning, turning lighter and more intermittent in its wake but leaving largely cloudy conditions. Rather cool, but with light winds. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Warmer but unsettled and often rather windy. Tuesday perhaps starting fine but some heavy rain making inroads towards midweek. Drier but cooler conditions likely spreading from the west on Thursday.

Through the second half of next week conditions will be very unsettled with rain affecting most regions at times. The heaviest rain is likely to be in the west or southwest to begin with, but later in the week, the focus probably shifting to central and eastern areas. Following the rain, a drier and brighter interlude is probable, before conditions turn unsettled once again by next weekend. However, most of the rain, showers and strong winds are likely to be in the northwest with southeastern areas often dry and bright. Temperatures will be above average and probably feeling warm in the brighter spells. Later in October, there is a chance of more settled conditions developing, but with temperatures falling closer to average and some overnight frost and fog.

Potentially some wet and windy weather at first, especially in the northwest, but a trend towards more settled conditions is most favoured for late October as high pressure becomes increasingly dominant. This would bring the potential for frost and fog at night, and possibly large variations between daytime and overnight temperatures. Into early November, high pressure may become more centred to the northwest of the UK, resulting in a gradual trend towards more unsettled conditions, particularly across southern regions.
