Houghton Regis (Central Bedfordshire) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers fading to leave the region dry overnight. Developing clear spells and light winds may allow one or two fog patches to form as it turns rather chilly. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Monday:

Mostly fine, with light winds and some warm sunny spells. A risk of isolated showers from late morning. Sunshine perhaps becoming hazy in the south later. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Unsettled through this period, with Tuesday cloudy and wet, ahead of a risk of thundery showers midweek. Probably gradually turning drier and brighter on Thursday.

Many areas should start this period mostly dry as a ridge of high pressure dominates the UK. It should feel pleasant enough in mostly light winds and sunshine, with temperatures generally near average, but some rural areas could experience chilly nights. However there is also a chance that rain may fringe into easternmost and southwesternmost areas at times. Then a transition to more generally changeable conditions looks most likely, though with a northwest-southeast split in fortunes. Northwestern areas will probably see more in the way of cloud and rain, whereas southeastern parts stand a better chance of longer periods of drier and at times, somewhat warmer weather. However, some rain may extend further southeast across all parts of the UK from time to time.

As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, and perhaps more likely in the south. However, by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled interludes are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.
