Birstall (Leicestershire) weather

Headline:

Humid and very hot today.

Today:

Dry and sunny today, and becoming very hot, locally exceptionally hot across the south, with the potential for temperatures to cause significant disruption. Also feeling humid, although onshore breezes will keep coastal areas a little fresher. Maximum temperature 34 °C.

Tonight:

Despite largely clear skies many places will have another warm or very warm night, especially in large towns and cities, with the humid conditions persisting. Minimum temperature 16 °C.

Thursday:

Generally sunny and very warm or hot. Breezier than recently, especially along the coast which will keep temperatures cooler than inland and bring a chance of mist and low cloud. Maximum temperature 32 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Hot or very hot Friday, thereafter temperatures decreasing. Sunny spells Friday and Saturday, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms. Cloudier Sunday and possibly patchy light rain.

Fairly changeable conditions at first with periods of rain and showers, and there could be some thundery outbreaks at times. 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 remain widely above average, and there remains a chance of some very warm or hot weather returning, mainly across the south.

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. 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, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.
