Kitty Tor (Devon) weather

Headline:

Settling down and warming up during the week ahead.

Today:

Sunday will start rather cloudy with patchy rain and hill fog in the west. A few heavy showers may break out in the east during the morning, otherwise it will become mostly dry with some brighter breaks developing at times. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Tonight:

Most areas will have a fine evening with bright spells, and there will be clear intervals overnight. However, cloud may thicken in the east to bring some showers later. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Monday:

Apart from an early isolated light shower in the east, the new working week will start fine. Though a little breezy, it should feel pleasant in the sunshine that appears. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

A ridge of high pressure will gradually build in from the southwest during the Tuesday to Thursday period. Mainly dry with some clear or sunny spells, and warming up too.

A broad northwest/southeast split in the weather looks most likely through much of this period. Towards the northwest, Atlantic frontal systems will bring occasional rain and cloudier skies at times, along with breezier conditions, though there should be some drier, brighter interludes too. Further south and east, high pressure will likely dominate with a fair amount of dry and sunny weather to be had. With this, there is a signal for increasing heat and humidity and the potential for another period of hot weather to develop by the second weekend of July, probably lasting into the start of the following week. Given the anticipated high temperatures, the chance of thunderstorms also increases, though widespread rainfall across southern areas looks unlikely.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, by the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this are rather uncertain.
