Wakefield will see the warm weather return next week.

The outlook for Saturday, September 19 to Monday, September 21 reads: “Fresh winds but drier and brighter on Saturday and Sunday, although an isolated shower can't be ruled out. Cloudier into Monday with some light rain at times. Temperatures around average”.

Into the end of the month, the sun will shine over Wakefield and the Five Towns.

There will be a build of pressure across much of the UK, with Atlantic weather fronts becoming more confined to northern and northwestern areas.

As such, plenty of dry and increasingly warm and perhaps rather humid weather will develop across the district.

Towards the end of September and many areas may remain mostly settled

However, there is the possibility of areas of low pressure moving in from the Atlantic bringing more widely unsettled conditions across Wakefield, Pontefract and Castleford by the end of the month.
