Low pressure for the weekend. Summer to return in August? – Thursday 20th July 2023 – Sunday 23rd July 2023

Hi all,

As per last week; what a poor month it’s turning out to be. Today hasn’t been too bad and Thursday won’t be either, so make the most of it as the weekend looks grim.

If you do follow my weather data online or at my sister account, @OldhamWxStats on Twitter, you will have noticed, especially at night and when it’s raining, that the humidity levels are very low and the dew point values are well below freezing. The humidity sensor is broken, or letting in moisture. The weather station is on my roof so I can’t access it until, hopefully, this Friday.

Thursday: Bright or sunny spells with the odd passing shower on the north-westerly breeze. Clear spells overnight leading to a chilly one. Max 19°C Min 10°C

Friday: Bright spells fading quickly as cloud increases from the west with rain/showers arriving. Mild and turning even wetter overnight. Max 16°C Min 12°C

Weekend: Unsettled once again and turning humid.

Saturday: Cloudy with rain at times, some heavy and breezy. Feeling cool. Poor day. Max 16°C Min 12°C

Sunday: Low pressure will move away into the North Sea but leave an area of rain which will slowly move away to the south. Staying cloudy with showers continuing into the afternoon. Muggy and not as cool as Saturday. Max 19°C Min 12°C

Outlook: Continuing unseasonably cool, with maximum temperatures into the late-teens. Showers or spells of rain at times. Thundery showers can’t be ruled out. If you’re hoping for Summer to return, then, even though we take it as a pinch of salt this far out, the pattern across Europe should change. This means it’s likely to be favourable for us to see some settled, drier, sunnier and much warmer weather towards mid-August. We live in hope.
