Today's Forecast

It will be mainly cloudy for much of the afternoon, but through the evening some clear intervals will develop. Then overnight there will be lengthy clear spells leading to a cold night. With low dew point temperatures, only localised hoar frost is expected. During Tuesday morning it will turn cloudier, but it should remain dry through to midday. Minimum RSTs minus 2.5c.

 

Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday)
Tuesday

Cloudy at first on Tuesday afternoon but by dusk some good clear periods will start to develop. These clear spells will continue overnight with RSTs falling below freezing with an attendant frost and ice risk.

Wednesday

Generally cloudy on Wednesday afternoon but some breaks in the cloud will occur overnight. This will allow RSTs to fall quickly below freezing with a frost risk. Also some freezing fog patches may develop where longer breaks allow.

Thursday

and

Friday

Bright and clear on Thursday. From the early hours cloud cover will push in from the west with some patchy rain and drizzle.
