A fine end to the day, with plenty of evening sunshine. Staying dry with clear skies overnight. It will be another warm and sultry night, with light winds. Minimum temperature 20 °C.

Tuesday:

Dry with sunny spells on Tuesday. Another very warm or hot and humid day. Meanwhile, a north-easterly breeze developing is likely to bring some low cloud into coastal areas later. Maximum temperature 34 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Probably quite cloudy, with outbreaks of showery rain, locally heavy and possibly thundery Wednesday. Likely to be largely fine and dry with sunny spells Thursday and Friday. Feeling much fresher.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
