This Evening and Tonight:

Dry with some late brightness this evening. Then the rest of the night will be dry with clear periods. Freshening southwesterly winds along the north coast later. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Friday:

The vast majority will have a dry day with some sunny spells. Feeling warm. However the odd light shower may appear, chiefly around the north coast and during the morning. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

A little rain at first on Saturday otherwise dry and bright. Cloudy on Sunday with rain at times, this dying out on Monday.

The rather changeable pattern of preceding days will likely still be in place across northwestern areas of the UK at first. Further southeast, predominantly fine, with a spell of hot weather looking increasingly likely at the start of this period. Much of England could see high temperatures for at least a couple of days and there is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south, where there is also the possibility of some thunderstorms. Beyond this, probably a resumption of widely somewhat cooler, fresher conditions, with a lot of dry weather to be had in the south under the influence of high pressure. Meanwhile a rather more changeable and breezier theme will continue further to the north.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely at first. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for further hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By the turn of the month, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, possibly more likely in the south at first, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
