The overnight / early morning rain is now well beyond our area and is moving towards the South coast of the UK. This will leave us with some clear and bright spells.
Cloud cover will be thin or completely fragmented for long periods of the day. This will allow for plenty of bright and dry spells. I do not expect any further rain today particularly as the air pressure is continuing to rise slowly.
Our top temperature will be around 13c and overnight it will be a chilly 5c. Gardeners must really ensure that their tender plants are well sheltered or protected tonight. It will be good news, however, for our astronomers who will be able to spend a weekend evening making observations.
The wind will be light (average speed 5mph) and will move towards the NW. This wind direction will bring a nice autumnal “nip” in the air.
A good day for venturing out for a walk, ride or simply enjoying the fresh air.
