This Evening and Tonight:

A fine end to the day, with prolonged evening sunshine. Staying dry with long clear spells overnight and turning chilly in sheltered spots. Winds mostly light but becoming breezier along the coast and over hills. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Tuesday:

Dry and fine, with long sunny spells. Warm or very warm inland but a brisk breeze, especially around coasts, giving a noticeably cooler feel here. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wednesday, dry and very warm with sunny spells. Lighter winds. Thursday, cooler and breezy with sunshine and showers. Friday, mostly dry but generally cloudier with occasional bright spells. Breezier later.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern is rather more unclear. Some drier, brighter interludes will also occur and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Beyond mid-month, high pressure may become rather more dominant, bringing more in the way of drier and perhaps warmer weather, though this will be determined by the location and proximity of where any high is positioned relative to the UK.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
