Dry and bright from much of the day with the best of the sunshine through the Lothians and Borders and becoming very warm. Cloudier across Dumfries and Galloway, patchy light rain and drizzle, mainly over the hills. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outbreaks of rain pushing east during this evening with the odd heavy burst possible. This moving into the North Sea overnight with clearing skies. Winds falling light. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Tuesday:

It will be bright with sunny spells and still feeling warm inland, but fresher on the coast. The cloud bubbling up at times with a scattering of showers. Light winds. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Bright or sunny spells with occasional showers on Wednesday and Thursday, the showers possibly heavy and slow moving on Wednesday. Windy with occasional rain on Friday.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
