Dry, bright and hot to start the weekend. Staying very hot but temperatures slightly down on recent days. Maximum temperature 29 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Sunday brings rain, clearing west to much fresher and cooler conditions. Monday and Tuesday are then mostly dry with sunny spells. Temperatures a little above average.

Fairly changeable conditions at first with periods of rain and showers, and there could be some thundery outbreaks at times. The best of the drier and brighter weather initially will be across the southeast. Then perhaps a drier start to July for many, although the northwest may still see some rain at times, and perhaps accompanied by some strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be near average in the north and slightly warmer than average in the south, but with winds generally from the west temperatures aren't expected to be as hot as seen recently.

High pressure patterns are looking slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during the early part of this period, meaning a greater chance of settled and drier than average conditions. Although with outbreaks of rain and stronger winds at times, more especially across the north. There is still a chance of some changeable or more unsettled conditions developing later in the period, with a risk of some heavy and thundery showers. Temperatures are likely to be above normal on the whole, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.
