Northeasterly 5-15mph. Strongest wind in the south, and perhaps more widely in the morning, gusts up to 25mph before dawn.
Likely small, but some blustery gusts in exposure are possible early in the day.
Any rain unlikely
Small chance of odd spots of rain around/north of Teesdale in the early hours, but likely entirely dry.
Extensive early, lifting to high terrain
An extensive layer of cloud shrouds the fells to middle slopes from dawn, likely to lower eastern slopes and into some dales. Fog lifts through morning, just banks on summits afternoon with clear periods too.
Rising to 70%
A patchwork of cloud and sun, best chance of extended sun breaks west. Excellent visibility.
5C rising to 8C.
6C rising to 11 or 12C.
Monday is likely showery, risk heavy with lightning in England. An easterly wind then gradually establishes in England and Wales, chilly nights and mornings with patchy dawn mist and light frosts, this soon fading for warm days. High pressure remains dominant through the week: regularly sunny and pleasantly warm days; summit temperatures often at or above 10C, many valleys will warm toward 20C or higher afternoon. Risk of sunburn in strong sunshine and very dry springtime ground conditions with high risk of wildfire. Detail becomes uncertain into next weekend, but a rising risk of showers and longer spells of rain, mostly England and Wales, and likely turning cooler into the following week as wind shifts northerly.
