Lightwater Valley Park (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Fine and dry through into Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Fine and dry through the evening with increasingly hazy sunshine as cloud builds from the west. Cloud will break at times overnight, giving some clearer spells and allowing temperatures to fall to low single figures in places. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Wednesday:

Another fine and likely dry day with patchy cloud. Given lighter winds and frequent sunny spells it will feel warmer than on Tuesday. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Turning cooler Thursday, with showery outbreaks of rain by day, clearing overnight. Likely staying dry Friday with sunny spells, but increasingly breezy. Rain into Saturday clearing to a bright day.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern remains rather unclear. There may also be some drier and brighter interludes and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Later in the month more blocked weather patterns become more likely, with high pressure in the vicinity of the UK. This increases the probability of more settled weather, especially in the north but there may still be periods of rain or showers, especially in the south.

Blocked patterns with high pressure near to the UK will probably be dominant during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, especially in the south, where rainfall amounts could be above average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
