Bramcote (Nottinghamshire) weather

Headline:

Plenty of dry, hot weather this week.

Today:

Isolated mist patches at first soon clearing, with temperatures rising quickly. This leads to a hot, sunny afternoon with light winds. Sunshine perhaps turning hazy in the west later. Maximum temperature 29 °C.

Tonight:

Evening sunny spells most prevalent in the east, cloudier in the west with isolated, perhaps thundery, showers quickly moving east. From midnight, dry with clear spells. Light winds continuing. Minimum temperature 19 °C.

Tuesday:

Lengthy sunny spells to start, sunshine turning hazy for a time in the afternoon. Feeling hot with a humid night to follow. Maximum temperature 31 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Temperatures remaining above normal with some sunshine but also a risk of thundery showers. Muggy nights are likely. Winds generally light.

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.
