Little Change – I guess we’ll all be hoping for an Indian Summer – Thursday 24th August 2023 – Bank Holiday Monday 28th August 2023

Hi all,

After two weeks off, COVID and a holiday to sunny Bognor Regis, the weekly blog is back. I wish I was the bearer of good news, a late summery burst of warmth and sunshine, but unfortunately not. The difference this week between the NW of England and the SE of England was again plain to see. Temperatures into the mid-20s down there, and although we did see temperatures into the early-20s we continued to see rainfall.

It’s been warmer than average across most of Europe and in SE England so far this week

Thursday: Low pressure to the north of the UK. Overall it will be cooler with sunny spells and a few showers once a band of cloud and some rain moves south-east. A little breezy. That said, it will still be pleasant in any sunshine later. Max 18°C Min 11°C

Low pressure bringing showers over the coming days

Friday: Sunny spells and showers. A breeze, notably from the north-west or north introducing fresher air. Temperatures not much different but dew point values will drop making it feel cooler at night. Max 17°C Min 8°C

Weekend: Plenty of brightness but showers still present.

Total rainfall (mm) expected over this forecast period. Most of the rain coming in the form of showers.

Saturday: The low pressure will drift away to the east, ever so slowly, and with high pressure to the west this will kill off some of the showers, especially later, but they will still be around with the odd heavy one. Sunny spells in between. Max 17°C Min 9°C

Sunday: More in the way of cloud with a few showers. Temperatures down a little. Max 16°C Min 10°C

Bank Holiday Monday: A dry morning and hopefully we hold onto this into the early-afternoon before cloud thickens and light rain/drizzle arrives on a milder airflow. Max 17°C Min 11°C

Showery rain on Bank Holiday Monday might hold off until later in the day

Outlook: Little change. No late summer heat, mostly cloudy with showers. Next weekend could see more in the way of sunshine with a brief area/ridge of high pressure but don’t hold your breath. Indian Summer anyone?
