What will the weather in Colchester be like tomorrow?

How does Colchester’s weather compare with neighbouring towns?
Being just a few miles inland from the coast at Mersea Island, Colchester often sees slightly less wind than Clacton-on-Sea but more cloud than the drier spots further west towards Chelmsford. The town’s position in the Colne valley can trap low cloud on calm nights, so mist or fog may linger into the morning during autumn and winter.
