Sunday 14th September 2025

Pretty mixed autumnal weather ahead, some wet days, some dry and sunny days.

Thanks to Marion for the photograph.

The general picture sees low pressure in charge, to our west though it will now have enough momentum to clear through towards Scandinavia over the coming days. And then we’ll await the next system.

Sunday starts bright but cloud will continue to thicken. Patchy light rain from late morning (ish) onwards, becoming more persistent in the afternoon, and heavier – some very heavy bursts of rain possible late afternoon/early evening, an outside chance of thunder too. Windy, reaching around 18’C. The rain clears around mid evening, variable cloud overnight, perhaps a shower – and the winds becoming rather strong. Down to around 12’C.

Monday’s main story is the wind – gusts of 45mph, perhaps 50mph, may cause some distruption in places – there is a Met Office weather warning out. Otherwise it will be a fairly cloudy day with plenty of showers, some heavy, a small chance of thunder. Some bright/sunny spells but not much. Just about reaching 18’C. Showers fading in the evening and overnight, and the wind gradually becoming less strong – down to around 11’C.

Tuesday is a calmer day as the low pressure system moves away – some sunny spells, some cloud, small chances of light/moderate showers though more likely statying dry. Still breezy, especially in the morning, and reaching around 18’C. Cloud will thicken as the afternoon and evening goes on – outbreaks of rain arriving around mid-evening, light at first, but becoming heavy, perhaps very heavy at times overnight. Around 12’C. Becoming windy too.

Wednesday likely starts cloudy, probably still some rain around. Gradually this should move away to leave some sunny spells – though I have fairly low confidence about this. Some warmer air mixed in, if the sun comes out then 21’C possible, if not then around 18’C. Likely windy.

Thursday…well it could be anything I’m afraid, the only aspect I have confidence on is warmth trying to spread up from the south.

Confidence is fairly low for Friday, but the slightly more likely outcome would be for a warm and sunny day.

Very low confidence on details for next weekend, but the broad picture should see low pressure moving across, and pushing any warmth away.

There’s a small chance of a very warm/quite hot day on Saturday, but it will be a few days until we know with more confidence. Heavy showers will at some point move across – be it on Saturday day/night or Sunday at the latest.

Early signals for the week after suggest something drier and more settled for a time.

Have a pleasant Sunday, time for me to go cure my hangover.
