MOTORCYCLE WEATHER (Tuesday 1st - Friday 4th September 2026).
Another month starts with rain, after the long hot days of summer. Hope you had a good Bank Holiday weekend.
Tuesday starts with good intent, a low shower risk and sunny intervals. Winds generally south westerly and light. Rain becomes increasingly likely around lunch time, as risk rises to 50% for a couple of hours then takes on a rollercoaster effect, dropping during the afternoon before rising to 30% during the late evening. More persistent rain may come along around midnight. Temperatures will range from 11c at dawn, rising to 20c then falling to 16c by midnight.
Wednesday could be duck weather, with forecasts of a 60% - 70% risk of rain until late in the afternoon. There should be breaks in the rain with sunny intervals. Winds generally south westerly and very lively, with gusts topping 30mph at times. Late afternoon sees more chance of drier interludes. Temperatures ranging from 16c at dawn to 21c during the afternoon. By midnight, it'll be a sticky 18c with 91% humidity.
Thursday will be the best day, with shower risk 20% at worst throughout the day. Plenty of opportunity for good sunny periods, as that south west to westerly airflow rattles along with strong gusts in the middle part of the day. Temperatures 18c at dawn; 20c/22c during the afternoon, then dropping to 18c again at midnight.
Friday is looking largely overcast with little chance of sunshine and varying levels of cloud. Rain is likely, with shower risk at 40%-50% throughout. Nothing special to commend it, other than fairly level temperatures; 18c/21c/17c (dawn/mid-afternoon/midnight). Winds identical to the Thursday data; Strength slightly less but still gusty at times and remaining south west to westerly.
No sign of that September heatwave the popular press is talking about yet. We'll see.😎
Have a good week. Take special care in the wet conditions.
