Low pressure returns with yet more rain. Summer holding out for the 2nd week of August? – Thursday 27th July 2023 – Sunday 30th July 2023

Hi all,

Just a quick blog this week as I’ve had some welcome family time today, so I’ve been pushed for time. The dire weather has continued since the last weekly blog and especially so at the weekend which became a washout for some for the full 48 hours. 100mm of rain was recorded in north Lancashire and we managed a good 2 inches of rain at least. We are well over the average for rainfall amounts for July and we could end up at 200% come the 31st. It can only get better, right?

Thursday: Cloudy with a few showers, some heavy, especially early on. Tending to become a little drier and brighter later in the day. Breezy and a touch humid. Warm in any sunshine. Max 20°C Min 14°C

Friday: Low pressure approaching. Mostly cloudy with a few scattered showers into the afternoon but most could stay dry. Quite muggy. A warm night. Max 20°C Min 15°C

Weekend: Unsettled and a little fresher but not as wet as last weekend.

Saturday: Low pressure will once again drive our weather. Some bright spells and showers, some heavy and perhaps thundery. Windy. Max 19°C Min 13°C

Sunday: If anything it will be windier with more in the way of hefty showers. Again, these could be thundery. Locally gusting to 30mph. Max 18°C Min 14°C

Outlook: I wish I had good news but no. The first few days of the week look to remain showery with low pressures around and this is a favourable forecast for later in the week as well. There are slight hints of something more drier and settled as we enter week 2 of August, which I have hinted at (just a guess) for a week or so now. So fingers crossed we finally, albeit 2 or so weeks away, get out of the autumnal feel. That said it’ll be autumn soon!
