Loftus (SAMOS) (Redcar and Cleveland) weather

Headline:

Dry and cloudy start, showery through the afternoon.

Today:

Dry and cloudy through Tuesday morning. Showers developing through the middle of the day, mostly over the Pennines at first but later drifting east. Showers likely to be heavy at times with a chance of thunder. Light winds. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

One or two showers lingering through into the evening, but these dying off overnight with clear skies developing for the second half of the night. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Wednesday:

Fine and dry on Wednesday with patchy cloud and plenty of sunny spells. Light winds and sunshine should see temperatures around average for time of year. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Sunny spells and isolated showers expected on Thursday and Friday. After a dry start on Saturday rain is expected to move in from the west. Temperatures around 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.
