Esk Hause (Cumbria) weather

Headline:

Often cloudy but dry with some sunny breaks.

This Evening and Tonight:

Another mostly cloudy and dull end to the day with cloudy skies persisting through the night. Occasional clear spells developing allowing temperatures to fall and encouraging some mist and fog patches to form. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Friday:

Another grey day, with some breaks developing in the cloud to give a few brighter intervals. Winds staying light with temperatures a little above average. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry, but generally cloudy to start on Saturday. Increasingly windy later as rain moves eastwards into Sunday, followed by sunshine and heavy showers on Monday.

The unsettled weather looks to continue, with areas of low pressure running in from the west or southwest. This means further spells of rain or showers, possibly accompanied by strong winds at times, with one particular watch point for this in the first couple of days of this period. That said, some drier interludes are still probable, though the duration of these much shorter than the predominantly dry spell at present. Temperatures probably near normal overall, but day-to-day values high dependent on the track of any lows. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK.

A showery northwesterly regime should give way to a generally changeable and at times unsettled period as we move into early November, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track towards the UK. Given this setup, the wettest conditions are most likely in the west, and strong winds could feature at times too. There are just hints that a drier interlude may unfurl across more southern areas towards mid-month, which could increase the incidence of overnight fog.
