In Pontefract and, more broadly, across Yorkshire and The Humber:
This evening will see a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures remaining mild between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. Winds will be moderate from the west, reaching up to 10 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 25 mph. No precipitation is expected during the night, so it should remain dry. The breeze may bring a slight chill in the air, but overall, it should be a relatively comfortable evening. It will be worth keeping an eye on the gusts, especially if you are heading outdoors later. The weather is likely to stay generally settled over the next few hours, with clear spells and no significant changes expected.
