Some warm sunshine, though a chance of showers too.
The new week will start dry with areas of cloud soon breaking up during the morning, with plenty of warm sunshine developing. However, by the afternoon a further increase in cloud could help generate a few showery bursts of rain. Maximum temperature 27 °C.
Northern and western areas are likely to have a cloudy evening and night with outbreaks of rain, some heavy. Further south and east it looks drier with occasional clear intervals. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Tuesday looks rather unsettled. There will be a lot of cloud around, with some showers which could be heavy with local thunder. Still warm in any brighter breaks though. Maximum temperature 23 °C.
Cooler and rather breezy on Wednesday with further showers possible. A drier and less breezy end to the week with some sunshine, though feeling fresher.
Updated:
Rather changeable to begin this period, with some rain or showers at times, but also the likelihood of some decent drier interludes too, especially in the south. Towards mid August, high pressure may become rather more dominant towards the north or northwest of the UK, with lower pressure at times further to the south or east. This means there is a greater chance of frontal systems or thundery interludes to affect southern and eastern areas, certainly in comparison to recent weeks, though rainfall amounts could be quite variable with some areas seeing relatively little. For the most part, temperatures look to remain above average, especially in the south, though perhaps without the exceptional heat we have seen in recent weeks.
Updated:
A continuation of the broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes, either resulting from Atlantic frontal systems or thundery plumes. This means that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
