Dry with some sunny spells. Very warm.
A dry day, with any cloud over the Southern Uplands breaking up, and allowing some long spells of sunshine to develop widely. Very warm generally, but a little cooler around some coasts. Maximum temperature 24 °C.
Some warm evening sunshine. Then staying dry overnight with mostly clear skies, but some low cloud or fog patches may form in parts of the southwest. Minimum temperature 12 °C.
Mainly dry and becoming very warm or hot with plenty of sunshine. The coasts fresher at times with perhaps some mist at first around the Solway Firth. Maximum temperature 26 °C.
The weekend dry and sunny, and hot or very hot, though some cooling sea breezes, though increasing chance of east coast haar on Sunday. Chance of thundery rain later Monday.
Updated:
The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.
Updated:
A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
