Residents of Southend and Basildon can expect a mixed bag of weather this weekend, according to the latest forecast from the Met Office.

While Saturday promises relatively calm conditions, Sunday will bring a combination of sunshine and potential showers, making for a more unsettled day.

Saturday is set to be predominantly dry in both Southend and Basildon.

Overcast skies will dominate much of the day, creating a grey but stable atmosphere for outdoor activities.

The lack of significant rain offers an excellent opportunity for residents to complete errands or enjoy leisure time without interruptions from the weather.

Sunday will take a more dynamic turn. In Southend, sunny intervals will be interspersed with potential for showers.

Basildon will experience a similar pattern, with bursts of sunshine potentially giving way to showers. 

Temperatures across the region will remain around the seasonal average, but the brisk winds accompanying the showers may make it feel cooler.

With temperatures expected to hover near normal for late November and early December, the weekend provides a snapshot of typical British weather.
