Headline:

A dry and sunny morning, occasionally hazy, will give way to a breezy and increasingly cloudy afternoon. While most areas will stay dry, the odd outbreak of rain is possible in Derbyshire by late afternoon. Feeling warm to very warm. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy, with a few patchy outbreaks of rain gradually spreading southeast across the region. However, many areas will remain dry. A breezy night. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Brightening up after a rather cloudy start, with sunny spells developing widely in the afternoon. Breezy yet feeling warm and rather humid. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Rather cloudy with showers on Sunday, locally heavy. Fewer showers on Monday, with more sunny spells. Breezy throughout. A cool start on Tuesday but dry with plenty of sunshine.

Likely a fairly cool start to the period with a few showers still to clear from the east, but for most it should become fine and dry, although some chilly mornings are possible. Through the rest of the week any rain will tend to focus on the north or northwest of the country, with the south becoming predominantly dry. Temperatures are likely to remain close to, perhaps a little below average initially. However through the second half of the week and especially the following weekend there are signs that temperatures will begin to trend up, becoming warm or very warm once again, especially across southern parts of the UK, but perhaps more widely as we head toward the middle of July.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
