Hello Wakefield residents and visitors! As we step into the next few days, letβs delve into the weather forecast and prepare ourselves for the winter chill that is expected to envelop our lovely city.
Expect a chilly day ahead, with maximum temperatures reaching around 7Β°C (44Β°F) and dropping to a minimum temperature of 5Β°C (40Β°F). Overcast skies will dominate throughout the day, with cloud cover reaching up to 100%. Although thereβs a low chance of precipitation, you might notice some patchy rain nearby as the evening approaches. Wind speeds will be light, coming from the north at about 3-5 mph.
For daylight hours, we can anticipate approximately 5.3 hours of sunshine, with sunrise occurring at 8:15 AM and sunset at 3:45 PM. Humidity levels are expected to hover around 78%, making it feel slightly cooler outside. As night falls, the moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase, adding a touch of beauty to the cloudy sky. Overall, keep your umbrellas handy just in case!
Moving to Friday, temperatures remain steady, with a maximum of 7Β°C (44Β°F) and a minimum of 6Β°C (43Β°F). Visibility could be somewhat compromised due to fog in the early hours, with a visibility of only 1 mile. The forecast indicates a high likelihood of mist, transitioning to cloudy throughout the day.
Rain and fog remain prominent in the forecast, especially in the morning hours, therefore heading out later in the day might be a better option. Similar to Thursday, wind speeds will be soft at around 2-3 mph, providing a gentle breeze rather than a chill.
Our weekend starts with a bit of good news! Saturday is expected to bring a slight improvement with temperatures again peaking at 7Β°C (44Β°F), but this time, the sun may show itself more prominently during the day. With a beautiful 7 hours of sunlight expected, it might just be the perfect day to step out for a stroll or enjoy a warm beverage outside.
The sky should be partly cloudy for the majority of the day, providing room for some sunshine to break through. Winds might pick up slightly, reaching speeds of 11 mph from the west, refreshing the air as we gear up for an enjoyable weekend.
