Charlestown (Beach) weather map
View the weather with our interactive map
Heavy showers at times, sunny spells later.
Cloudy as a band of showery rain pushes east across the region through the day. These may be heavy at times, with a risk of thunder, primarily in the east. Patchy cloud and sunny spells follow. Feeling warm and humid. Maximum temperature 24 °C.
Few remaining showers in the far east continue to ease. Elsewhere, patchy cloud with largely dry and clear conditions. Plenty of sunny spells into the evening. Minimum temperature 14 °C.
Largely fine and dry conditions continue, though a few light showers may be possible in the far west of the region through the morning. Maximum temperature 22 °C.
Fine conditions on Saturday with plenty of sunny spells. Turning unsettled as bands of rain, which may be heavy at times, move in from the west on Sunday and Monday.
Updated:
Early next week there is the potential for an unseasonably deep area of low pressure to affect the UK, which would bring widely windy and wet weather, especially for the west or northwest of the UK. The forecast around this is rather uncertain, however, and it is also possible that this will turn into a less windy but still wet spell further south. Following this, a continuation of the broadly changeable pattern is expected, with spells of rain or showers, some drier, brighter interludes and temperatures mainly near average. As we move towards mid-month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, warmer and more settled conditions becoming more widespread.
Updated:
High pressure, and therefore fairly settled conditions overall, appears most likely for the second half of August, though the northwest may see more in the way of occasional rain than other areas. For most, predominantly dry weather is likely to continue, although short periods of showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south, these more probable further into August.
