Middle Dodd (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Bright today but windy with passing showers and sunny periods.

Today:

Rather windy with particularly strong westerly winds over the higher ground and in coastal regions. Mainly dry with lengthy sunny spells, though passing showers are possible. Feeling a little milder with winds just beginning to ease this afternoon. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Tonight:

Scattered heavy showers this evening and overnight, mostly in Lancashire and Cumbria, but a few possible in the south. Generally mild but turning chilly under any clear skies in Cumbria. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Wednesday:

A changeable day with bright spells and scattered showers, these locally heavy and most likely across Cumbria and near to the Irish Sea coast. Not as breezy as recently. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Turning more unsettled, though a little milder. Wet and windy at times with periods of heavy rain or showers and the chance of gales. Occasional drier spells with some sunshine.

The changeable and at times unsettled weather is likely to continue through early November, with low pressure dominating the UK and surrounding regions. This means further showers or longer spells of rain at times. All parts could see some heavy rain at times, but it is likely that western areas will be wettest. Equally there should also be some, at least brief, drier or clearer interludes, these most prevalent further east. Strong winds are likely from time to time, with gales or severe gales a possibility. With winds predominantly blowing from a westerly or southwesterly quadrant, above average temperatures are more likely, especially at first, with a reduced incidence of overnight frost and fog, compared to normal.

Unsettled conditions will probably be dominant across the UK at first, with showers or longer spells of rain for many areas and a risk of strong winds. Temperatures are expected to be around normal. During the second half of November, the most probable outcome is for increasing amounts of dry and fine weather, although with some overnight fog and frost. Any wetter spells are most likely to affect the north of the UK.
