Middleton (Northumberland) weather

Headline:

Dry, sunny, breezy at times along the coast.

Today:

Another fine and dry day with plenty of sunshine, after any early patchy low cloud, mist or fog quickly burns away. Cooler towards the coast with an onshore breeze, therefore highest temperatures will be across the west of the region. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Dry with largely clear skies, although areas of low cloud may form, these most likely across high ground. Becoming rather chilly in some rural locations as winds ease a little. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Thursday:

Generally sunny, once early low cloud gradually clears. Breezy again in places, especially over high ground and along the coast, with highest temperatures across western areas. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Overnight low cloud and perhaps sea fog will generally clear to sunshine by daytime, though some low cloud may linger near the coast, keeping it cooler. Breezy at times.

High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. There is still a chance of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.

Weather patterns are most likely to remain fairly slow-moving through the second half of April. There could be some interludes of rain or showers for a time around mid April, but on the whole plenty of dry and fine weather is expected with high pressure looking to remain in charge for most of the time. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
