West Dean Gardens (West Sussex) weather

Headline:

Overnight showers. Mainly fine with sunshine Tuesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Fine at first with some evening sunny spells, however an area of sharp showers will move southwards on the breeze around the middle of the night. These showers will be heaviest in eastern parts. Dry conditions following generally before dawn. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Tuesday:

A cool start, but fine for most with warm sunny spells developing. Eastern parts may be a little cloudier and breezier, perhaps with the odd fleeting light shower. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Temperatures increasing day on day, with potential for hot and humid conditions to become quite widespread by the weekend. Winds mostly light.

Settled at first, with very warm or hot weather quite widely across the UK. There is a small chance of a few thunderstorms, but most areas will likely be dry. Early next week, a transition to less hot conditions is expected, but with uncertain timing. This could bring an increasing chance of some rain or showers, perhaps thundery, but there is scope for very warm or hot conditions to persist in more eastern and southern areas. Beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, but interspersed with drier interludes. Whilst a downward trend in temperature is anticipated, it will still likely be warmer than average, especially in the south and east where hot spells remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
