A rather cloudy evening with a few light showers cropping up. Clear spells developing overnight, as the showers largely die out. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Sunday:

Most enjoying a dry day with good sunny spells and light winds, with the Central Belt particularly favoured and warm. However, sunshine increasingly turning hazy into the afternoon. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Most dry during Monday, with hazy sunshine. However, occasional areas of rain crossing the area from the southwest from late Monday and through Tuesday and Wednesday.

A changeable period is likely through the middle and latter part of next week with outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain focused across the north and especially west, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. Some strong winds may accompany this, mainly around coasts in the north and west. Through next weekend and into the following week, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most parts, and across the southeast in particular it could be very warm or hot at times, especially next weekend.

High pressure is expected to lie close to the UK at the start of this period, bringing largely settled and dry conditions. Temperatures will likely be above normal, with the potential for hot conditions to develop, especially in the south. Into July, the influence of high pressure may weaken or shift more to the north or west of the UK, bringing an increasing chance of more unsettled weather and thunderstorms, especially in the south. Temperatures will probably ease back closer to normal too, although some warm and humid spells are still possible at times.
