Headline:

Some warm sunshine, though showery rain at times too.

Today:

The new week will start mainly dry, though rather cloudy. Skies will brighten from the south during the morning, with plenty of very warm sunshine developing. However, through the afternoon a further increase in cloud could generate a few showers. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tonight:

It will be a rather cloudy evening and night with scattered showers giving way to some heavier and more persistent outbreaks of rain, especially in the north and west. Minimum temperature 16 °C.

Tuesday:

Tuesday looks rather unsettled. There will be a lot of cloud around, with some showers which could be heavy with local thunder. Still warm in any brighter breaks though. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Cooler and rather breezy on Wednesday with further showers. A drier and less breezy end to the week with some sunshine, though feeling fresher.

Probably rather changeable to begin this period, with some rain or showers at times, but also the likelihood of some decent drier interludes too. Towards mid August, high pressure may become rather more dominant towards the north of the UK, with lower pressure further to the south. This means there is a greater chance for Atlantic frontal systems or thundery interludes to affect southern areas, certainly in comparison to recent weeks, though rainfall amounts could be quite variable with some areas seeing relatively little. For the most part, temperatures look to remain above average, especially in the south, though perhaps without the exceptional heat we have seen in recent weeks.

A continuation of the broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes, either resulting from Atlantic frontal systems or thundery plumes. This means that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
