Mirfield (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Sunshine and showers, some heavy and perhaps thundery.

Today:

Fine at first for many, however showers will spread from western parts to become more widespread through the day, turning locally heavy and thundery. Rather cool, but feeling pleasant in sunny spells, and helped by lighter winds than on Saturday. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

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 3 °C.

Monday:

Fine at first, with sunny spells eventually joined by a risk of a few sharp showers inland for a time, with these easing later. Light winds. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Unseasonably cool and unsettled through this period, with Tuesday cloudy and wet, ahead of a risk of widespread thundery showers midweek. Probably gradually becoming drier through Thursday.

A brief period of more widely settled weather looks fairly probable to close out the working week and into the start of the weekend. Many places should see a day or two of fine weather with some sunny spells, albeit on the cool side for July. Thereafter a transition back to rather more changeable conditions looks most likely, though with 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 dry weather. However, some rain may extend further southeast across all parts of the UK at times. Temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, though some warmer weather is possible in the south coincident with drier, sunnier periods.

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.
