Dow Crag (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Scattered showers but becoming brighter.

Today:

Cloudy morning with the chance of showers, particularly across Pennine regions. Brightening up later with sunny spells, this perhaps setting off some scattered heavier showers. Breezy and feeling a little cool. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Any showers easing through the evening with cloud continuing to break and provide late sunny spells. Remaining dry overnight with mostly clear skies. The odd mist and fog patch possible. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Wednesday:

Fine and dry with a good number of sunny spells throughout the day. Light winds and feeling pleasantly warm. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Cloudier on Thursday with some patchy rain possible. Becoming windier on Friday with rain later, this potentially lingering into Saturday. Temperatures dropping back a little below the July average.

Early in this period, low pressure is likely to exist to the northwest or north of the UK, allowing areas of cloud and rain to spread across the UK from the west, though some more settled interludes are also likely, especially in the southeast. Breezy at times, with temperatures mainly near or below normal. Remaining changeable thereafter as weather systems to move across the country from the west, with northern and western areas typically wettest and a greater chance of dry conditions prevailing in the southeast. There is, however, a smaller chance for either unsettled weather to be more widely prevalent, or for a more quiescent period to develop across the south. Overall, temperatures will likely be near normal, but may feel cool in the west at times.

Through this period, there remains a slightly increased chance of more settled spells of weather developing at times, particularly in the south, and the likelihood of this has been gradually increasing over the past few days. However, there is still a substantial chance of other outcomes too, with more changeable periods also likely. Overall drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average, and warmer than average conditions are weakly favoured too.
