Weather in Wakefield: Weekend of warm spring weather expected across Wakefield, Pontefract and Castleford
The sun will continue to shine across Wakefield into the weekend.
A warm and pleasant spell of spring weather developed earlier this week and will continue into the weekend across Wakefield.
Heavy rain and blustery winds that have been seen across the district throughout the month will steadily clear, though conditions may be changeable at times.
Today (Thursday), Wakefield will see highs of 17C, with the weekend also seeing temperatures reach highs of 15C.
The Met Office’s forecast for Wakefield for the weekend reads: “Long sunny spells on Saturday, sunshine becoming hazy later. Warm. A sunny start Sunday, becoming cloudier later, with rain overnight. Warm. Cloudy Monday, with rain and strong winds later. Cool.”
However, as April begins, there is potential for the windy weather to return.
The Met Office’s long range forecast reads: “By the turn of the month high pressure may become rather more dominant once again with plenty of dry weather, but with some overnight fog and frost.”
