Great Yorkshire Show 2023 weather forecast: Hourly forecast for Harrogate today on day two of Yorkshire’s biggest agriculture and farming event

The Met Office has announced that the recent unsettled weather will continue in the coming days, with further rain likely for many heading into the weekend.

Showers are expected, at times thunderstorms, and will continue through the middle of this week. From today (Wednesday, July 12), the heaviest and most frequent showers look most likely to occur in the northwest of England, as well as Northern Ireland and parts of northern Scotland.

Met Office chief meteorologist Andy Page said: “The UK is predominantly under the influence of low-pressure, which is continuing a showery regime, with some potentially heavy and thundery showers possible at times through the week.

“While not everywhere in the UK will experience the heaviest downpours, it will remain an unsettled and relatively cool period, in stark contrast to the heat we experienced in June.”

Yorkshire will remain breezy and changeable with sunny spells and scattered showers, heavier and more frequent over the western hills on Wednesday. Daytime temperatures will be near average with a maximum temperature of 21C.
