Residents in York should prepare for a change in conditions this weekend, as the Met Office warns of a shift from mild weather to cooler and breezier temperatures. While Friday is expected to reach 17°C, the following two days will bring a noticeable drop in the mercury for those planning to be outdoors.
Saturday is set to see sunny intervals, though the day will also be affected by a band of rain that may be heavy at times. Temperatures will remain around 17°C during the day, but wind gusts of up to 23mph will make it feel closer to 15°C. By Sunday, the weather will turn drier with sunny spells, but the air will feel significantly cooler with a maximum temperature of 13°C, which may feel as low as 10°C due to continued breezy conditions.
Nighttime temperatures are also forecast to fall throughout the weekend. After a low of 8°C on Friday, the temperature will drop to 6°C on Saturday night, reaching a chilly 3°C by Sunday night. Residents may wish to dress in layers for outdoor plans to account for these fluctuations.
These conditions are consistent with typical weather for this time of year in North Yorkshire. Historical data indicates that daytime maximums in May usually range between 15°C and 17°C, with night-time lows between 6°C and 8°C, putting this weekend’s forecast near or slightly below the seasonal average.
