Headline:

A fine weekend. Turning cloudier with rain early next week.

Today:

A fine and warm day with plenty of sunshine, though it will be rather breezy in the north. Sunshine may turn hazy in places during the afternoon, but will remain strong enough to give high UV levels. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Winds will gradually ease through the evening, leading to a dry night with largely clear skies. A chance of mist and shallow fog in prone areas around dawn. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Sunday:

Generally fine and dry with light winds. Bright though staying rather cloudy through the day. Feeling warm. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Bright but increasingly cloudy on Monday, some possible rain late. Cloudier on Tuesday, with some rain at times. Brighter and drier on Wednesday, though becoming increasingly warm and humid.

A changeable period is likely through the middle and latter part of next week with outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain focused across the north and especially west, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. Some strong winds may accompany this, mainly around coasts in the north and west. Through next weekend and into the following week, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most parts, and across the southeast in particular it could be very warm or hot at times, especially next weekend.

High pressure is expected to lie close to the UK at the start of this period, bringing largely settled and dry conditions. Temperatures will likely be above normal, with the potential for hot conditions to develop, especially in the south. Into July, the influence of high pressure may weaken or shift more to the north or west of the UK, bringing an increasing chance of more unsettled weather and thunderstorms, especially in the south. Temperatures will probably ease back closer to normal too, although some warm and humid spells are still possible at times.
