South Yorkshire is set for a chilly Thursday with sunny spells before rain and strengthening winds arrive overnight.

Most areas will stay dry throughout the day, with occasional sunshine and cloudier periods. However, the odd shower could develop, particularly across the Pennines.

Temperatures are expected to reach a maximum of 12C, around average for October.

Thursday evening will be clear and chilly, but cloud is expected to thicken from the south-west overnight as rain spreads northwards.

Temperatures could drop to as low as 3C, with a chance of isolated frost patches before winds strengthen after midnight, particularly along the coast.

Friday will bring a wet start, with rain clearing northwards before further outbreaks develop, some of which could be heavy.

Conditions are expected to become drier from the west later in the day, although winds will strengthen. Temperatures will reach highs of 13C.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday will begin chilly before rain spreads eastwards, bringing increasingly wet and windy conditions.

Sunday is forecast to remain windy, with showers and brighter intervals throughout the day.

A brief spell of drier weather is expected overnight into Monday, before further rain and stronger winds arrive.
