AFTER A settled week last week with some welcome, pleasant September sunshine our weather returned to the norm with some Autumnal conditions. These are set to continue but it does show signs of settling down for the weekend.
Thursday sees a risk of heavy rain early on, especially to the east. This will push away and leave a day of bright spells and showers. Cool and breezy. Max 15°C.
On to Friday and a similar outlook. Sunshine and showers. Some could be on the heavy side with a rumble or two of thunder. They ease later in the day as a ridge of high pressure builds from the west. Max 16°C.
So how’s the weekend looking? Dry and settled, so we can’t grumble.
Saturday will be cloudy at first but bright or sunny spells will develop. Still a risk of an isolated shower in the morning. Overall a dry picture and lighter winds. Max 16°C.
As we enter Sunday, much of the same. Sunny spells and pleasant in any sunshine. Mainly dry and temperatures a little cooler than they should be at this time of year. Max 16°C. Any clear spells over the weekend would see some chilly nights with temperatures into single figures and with a risk of localised mist or fog.
Looking ahead into next week and we have little change in the temperatures but maybe more showery conditions once again.
Thanks for reading, Jon
