Long Eaton (Derbyshire) weather

Headline:

Drier for many overnight. Blustery showers and sunny spells Friday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Scattered blustery and heavy showers should become fewer and further between during the evening, becoming mainly confined to the far northwest into the early hours. Temperatures dipping in eastern shelter given developing clear spells, although remaining more generally breezy. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Friday:

Brightest in the east, with the best sunny spells here. Further scattered blustery showers otherwise becoming more widespread with time, with some of these heavy with hail and thunder possible. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Generally unsettled and rather cool with further rain and showers. Perhaps driest late Saturday and possibly early Sunday, ahead of wet, windy weather seeing out the weekend, with gales possible.

Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme at first with further showers each day on a brisk westerly wind. Risk of some stronger winds and heavy rain around the middle of the week, although this looks a low risk at this time. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
