Basford (Stoke-on-Trent) weather

Headline:

Persistent spells of rain and gusty winds overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Turning increasingly cloudy this evening, with rain moving in from the south overnight, this persistent and sometimes heavy. Becoming rather windy too, and feeling chillier than recent nights. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

Storm Claudia brings rain, this turning persistent and heavy for all, leading to a risk of flooding and challenging driving conditions. Very windy too, with gales possible over the hills. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Becoming more settled over the weekend. Still rather cloudy with a few light showers on Saturday, but more widely dry on Sunday and Monday. Feeling colder, especially during the nights.

Colder conditions, already affecting the far north of the UK are likely to extend south to affect all pasts through the early part of the period. Initially we may see some less cold conditions with some cloud, rain and possibly hill snow affecting parts of the west. It is as this clears later Tuesday that the colder conditions will extend south, bringing some snow showers into northern parts, and the first frosts of the season for many parts of the south. Later in the period there is increasing uncertainty, but a trend towards more changeable conditions is possible, with some rain or showers in places, and perhaps some hill snow at times in the north. Temperatures overall likely to return to near-average.

Whilst the expected weather patterns during late November are very uncertain, there is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the current weather pattern, which also increases the chances of overnight fog and frost. There will probably still be some spells of rain, showers, and stronger winds though, especially in the west. Hill snow is also a possibility, mainly in the north. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
