Lyneholmeford (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Mild but wet and rather windy.

This Evening and Tonight:

Overcast and widely wet with heavy spells of rain persisting this evening and overnight. Windy, particularly across the Pennines, and mild with temperatures above average for the time of year. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Wednesday:

Cloudy, with rain clearing eastwards through the morning. Then a mixture of scattered showers and drier intervals, before turning wet again by the evening. Still breezy and rather mild. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Turning brighter but colder on Thursday, with a few scattered showers to end the week, but more prolonged dry periods as well. Breezy but milder with further rain on Saturday.

Likely starting off very unsettled, with blustery showers, a mix of rain, sleet, some hill snow and soft hail being driven in by a strong to gale force northwesterly wind. Southeastern areas most sheltered from these but widely feeling very cold. Gradually turning more settled through the following week, with cloud, stronger winds and outbreaks of rain increasingly becoming confined to northwest Scotland, as an area of high pressure becomes established across at least the south of the UK. It may even become settled here too, but confidence in the north/south boundary between settled and unsettled gets steadily lower through the period. Becoming widely mild, perhaps exceptionally so in some places, although clearer spells overnight may lead to localised frost and fog.

Often settled across southern areas, with fairly dry, mild, but cloudy conditions dominating overall. More unsettled further north, with majority of periods of rain, and stronger winds, affecting this region, especially northwest Scotland. Whilst colder, brighter, and potentially wintry spells cannot be ruled out, particularly early in the period, overall temperatures have a greater than normal chance of being above average.
