Any heavy, thundery showers in the far east soon easing this evening to leave some late sunshine. Drier overnight with variable amounts of cloud though a few showers in the far west of Cornwall by dawn. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

A largely fine and dry day with sunny spells, though the odd heavy shower possible across the far west of Devon and Cornwall. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Staying fine and settled through the remainder of the week. Dry with plenty of sunshine by day, and clear skies overnight. Temperatures staying above average, but with some cooler nights.

Mostly dry and largely sunny conditions are expected to continue for the vast majority over the next several days as a slow-moving area of high pressure remains dominant. It will continue to be warm or very warm for many, especially in the west, but it will be remain cooler in the east, especially along coasts, with some coastal areas seeing persistent low cloud at times, accompanied by a brisk breeze off the North Sea. There is an increasing chance that conditions will turn more unsettled from late next week though, as areas of rain and strengthening winds threaten from the west and/or south (the latter bringing a risk of thunderstorms). This would most likely to be accompanied by temperatures dropping nearer to average for the time of year.

The start of the period may see some more in the way of rain and showers across much of the UK, especially western parts. Fine and dry weather is more likely to prevail towards the south and east though and may start to develop more widely, but occasional spells of rain and showers are still possible, with the potential for thunderstorms on some days. Overall, temperatures will most likely be around or above normal for the time of year.
