Royal Tunbridge Wells (Kent) weather

Headline:

Further rain on Tuesday, breezy at times.

Today:

Dry and perhaps sunny in the far south to start, but a band of cloud and rain sinks south during the day to most parts. The rain heavy at times, especially from London northwards. Occasionally breezy, rather cool in rain. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining mostly cloudy overnight and breezy at the coast. A few outbreaks of rain or showers, but many places staying dry. Mild. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy and damp to start, but brightening a little up through the day. Isolated showers, mainly around eastern coastal parts where it will be breezier. Feeling warmer inland. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A much drier, quieter spell of weather with generally light winds. Some overnight mist and fog possible with colder nights, but temperatures near or slightly above average by day.

Areas of low pressure, initially centred over the Atlantic, will slowly meander eastwards across the UK through the weekend and into much of next week, albeit often on a track that is south-shifted relative to normal. This will bring more widely unsettled conditions, with periods of rain or showers, perhaps heavy and persistent at times, and perhaps accompanied by windy spells too. The wettest conditions, relative to average, are likely across England and Wales, while it may become rather windy for a time across the north and northwest of Scotland early next week, where it will also turn colder. Later in the period it may become more widely drier across northern areas, as colder conditions then become established more widely across the UK.

Confidence is rather low through this period, but a general continuation of recent weather patterns is most likely, with areas of low pressure bringing wet and perhaps windy conditions across central and southern UK in particular, with the best of any longer drier spells likely in the north or northwest. That said, occasional drier spells are possible more widely as higher pressure builds for a time, bringing the chance of fog and frost at night. Temperatures will tend to be close to average overall in the south, but likely below average in the northwest.
