General Situation across the United Kingdom

Frontal systems will affect the western side of the UK today introducing cloud and outbreaks of rain, mainly light. A ridge of high pressure will develop from the south-west overnight joining with high pressure still over the North Sea maintaining the run of fine weather through the weekend.

The Local Area Forecast for Northamptonshire

There is noticeably more cloud around this morning and this is associated with the line of a front lying very close to us to the south-west. There is the danger that the cloud will develop sufficiently at times through this morning to trigger one or two spots of rain, these turning into heavier bursts through the afternoon. However, in between we could still catch some spells of hazy sunshine. It will be another warm day though with highs climbing to around 23C with the wind calm at first but freshening from the south-east later. Any lingering showers/outbreaks of rain will dissipate overnight and it should stay dry after mid-night. Lows will fall to around 12C.

The Outlook for the next few days

We are looking at a better prospect through Saturday. There will be plenty of warm sunshine around and it will be warm, perhaps the warmest day so far this week with highs easily reaching 24C. However, there is a small risk of the cloud developing through the afternoon triggering the odd sharp shower in places, but most areas should stay dry. Overnight lows will fall to 13C. The wind will remain light and from the east or south-east. A fine settled day will follow on Sunday, still more sunshine to come and without the risk of showers through the afternoon. It will be a touch cooler than Saturday, but warm nonetheless at 22C. With high pressure positioned to the north and exerting a strong influence across the whole of the UK, we should see the fine weather extending well into next week.
