Mawsley (Northamptonshire) weather

Headline:

Warm with sunshine at first. Becoming unsettled over the weekend.

Today:

Any fog patches first thing will soon lift and break to leave a dry and warm day with lengthy periods of sunshine. The sunshine will perhaps become a little hazy in northern parts due to high cloud. Light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

A dry night with long clear spells, allowing temperatures to fall rapidly, with a frost possible in prone rural spots. Perhaps some isolated fog patches by dawn. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Saturday:

Any fog patches soon clearing. A fine start with plenty of sunshine, becoming warm again. Likely becoming more cloudy later, with rain overnight. Windy later on coasts. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cooler and more unsettled conditions are likely through this period, with outbreaks of rain and showers, these perhaps heavy at times. Some drier interludes remain possible, however. Occasionally breezy.

Much more mixed weather conditions than of late, with low pressure systems and their associated areas of rain and showers often affecting the UK. The rain is likely to be heavy at times, and the showers, most frequently affecting western areas, will also be heavy and blustery in places, with isolated small hail and thunder. There will also be some brighter, drier spells in between rain and showers, although probably large amounts of cloud too, with limited sunshine. Unsettled, wet, and occasionally windy conditions are most likely during the first few days of this period; beyond this, and certainly into the following week, there is an increasing chance that cooler, northerly winds could develop, followed by a less unsettled spell. Temperatures mostly around average for the time of year.

Some unsettled weather is possible at this start of this period with showers or longer spells of rain in places. However, a change to more settled conditions is more likely through this period as high pressure becomes more influential. This more settled theme continues into early May, although some briefer spells of wetter, unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the south. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall.
