Today:

Fresh, bright and breezy today with sunny spells. A few scattered showers will develop in north Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, but most places will stay dry. A fresh feel in the brisk winds. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Tonight:

Showers easing this evening to leave some late sunshine. Dry overnight with some clear spells and a few mist and fog patches. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Wednesday:

A bright and sunny start on Wednesday. A veil of high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy through the morning, with thicker cloud in the west during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Scattered showers are possible on Thursday, turning heavy at times. Largely dry thereafter with plenty of warm sunny spells over the next few days.

This period starts with something of a north-south split. Some locally heavy rain or showers, with a risk of thunder, will likely affect the north, along with some strong winds, whilst the south looks like starting mainly dry with some warm sunshine and lighter winds. There is a small chance of some rain or showers even in the south, but more likely it will be mainly dry and warm here. Temperatures will probably be close to average in the north at first. As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread with above average temperatures. However, some brief unsettled spells remain possible, particularly towards the end of this period.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely for the second half of August. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times, these perhaps more likely later in the period. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south.
