Headline:

Rain spreading east on Monday afternoon.

This Evening and Tonight:

Mainly dry with bright or clear spells. Isolated showers with low cloud and mist around Irish Sea coasts at times. Light or moderate south or southeast winds. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Monday:

Some bright spells during the morning, mainly in the east. Outbreaks of rain developing, turning heavy and perhaps thundery at times through Fermanagh and the west. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Plenty of dry and settled conditions with some warm sunshine. The odd shower around, but dry for most with light winds.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
