Southampton W.C. (Southampton) weather

Headline:

Outbreaks of rain clearing north. Windy, especially along coasts.

Today:

Rather windy, especially along coasts. Outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain through the morning clearing most parts by the afternoon. Some brighter spells possible, but also further outbreaks of rain or drizzle. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Dry, cloudy evening before rain returns south across the area after midnight, heavy at times, especially across eastern areas. Staying windy, with coastal gales possible across east Kent. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Tuesday:

Rain clearing most parts around dawn, but perhaps continuing across east Kent, with strong winds only gradually easing here. Otherwise mainly dry but rather cloudy, with isolated showers. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Any residual showers easing Wednesday. Then drier, with light winds and long sunny periods. Chilly overnight with some frost, and mist or fog patches. Likely cloudier Friday with winds strengthening.

High pressure initially presides over the bulk of the UK, with more widely drier and brighter conditions and just a few isolated showers. However, low pressure over the Atlantic becomes increasingly influential through Friday and into the weekend with areas of rain crossing through, although the timing of this transition is uncertain. Following an unsettled weekend a mixture of unsettled showery spells and longer periods of rain is most likely, though still with some brighter spells with the driest weather in the south as winds most likely arrive from the north. Temperatures probably near or below-average at first, recovering to above-average for a time over the weekend, but then likely trending below-average for the following week.

Confidence is rather low throughout this period, but there is a chance of more settled conditions during the second half the month with potentially longer periods of dry weather developing, bringing the chance of fog and frost at night. However, there remains a reasonable chance that wetter, more unsettled conditions could continue. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average, especially so later in the month.
