Thatto Heath (Merseyside) weather

Headline:

Largely dry this evening. Rain returns on Monday.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine end to the day, with any showers dying away to leave a dry night, with clear spells developing for many. Turning chilly in some rural spots. Light winds. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Monday:

A dry and bright start, before a band of cloud and outbreaks of rain, moves eastwards throughout the day. Turning a little brighter later across Cumbria. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Bright or sunny spells on Tuesday, with some scattered showers. Dry at first on Wednesday, before rain arrives later. Breezy with sunny spells and scattered showers Thursday.

This period is likely to see a continuation of the changeable conditions, with occasional bands of rain moving in from the west or northwest. There will be a good deal of dry, warm, and settled weather in between frontal systems, with the best conditions most likely in the south and east where winds will be lighter. In contrast, further north and west, it will generally be breezier, and any rain that does occur will be heaviest over the hills. Cloud cover will vary, with cloudier weather expected in the north and west, while clearer skies are likely in the south and east. Temperatures will be around or a little below average for the time of year, but on sunnier days with lighter winds, it will still feel warm.

On balance, it may be rather changeable at first, with periods of unsettled and cloudy, wet weather mixed with spells of dry and fine weather. The west is likely to see the wettest conditions, while the east will tend to be drier. By mid month there is a signal for more settled conditions to develop, so more in the way of dry weather, although still with a risk of some rain / showers at times. Temperatures close to average at first, but with a greater chance of warmer than average conditions later in the period.
