Lord Hill's Column (Shropshire) weather

Headline:

Turning very warm or hot over the next few days.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine and warm evening with plenty of sunshine. Remaining dry overnight with generally clear skies, but some high cloud developing later. Milder than last night, though cooler in the countryside where patchy fog is possible in prone spots. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Monday:

A fine and bright day and quickly becoming very warm. Hazier skies than on Sunday with high cloud at times, but still plenty of hot sunshine through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 29 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Hot and mostly sunny on Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably turning a little fresher by Thursday, with cloudier skies and an increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms at times.

High pressure will likely build leading to a period of fairly dry and settled weather for many at first, with a few light showers in the north. There may however be some heavy, thundery showers over the weekend, especially in the south. Temperatures will likely remain above normal, and much of the south could still see warm or very warm temperatures for at least a couple of days. There is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south. Beyond this high pressure will likely continue leading to plenty of fine weather, perhaps with the odd heavy shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures will likely continue to be above normal but there are some signs of fresher conditions developing in the north later.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely at first. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely but there may be some fresher interludes in the north at first. There remains potential for further hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By the turn of the month, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
