While the morning may start dry, expect broken cloud to develop through the day, bringing the odd spot of rain.

Any heavier bursts will likely be brief, and temperatures will hover around average for this time of year. If you’re heading out, it’s worth checking the 10 day weather forecast for the UK for the wider picture.

Will it rain heavily in Somercotes today?

Fog isn’t a major concern from the live forecast above. Overnight mist could form in nearby valleys under clear spells, but daytime cloud and a light breeze should lift it quickly.
