Some rain on Monday. Drier for a time in afternoon.
A dry and bright evening, though it will be largely cloudy. Cloud will continue to thicken overnight, with a few outbreaks of rain developing after midnight. Minimum temperature 13 °C.
Cloudy with outbreaks of rain spreading northwards, but becoming drier and brighter in the afternoon. Further rain spreading north in the evening heavy at times. Warm and humid. Maximum temperature 23 °C.
Unsettled on Tuesday and Wednesday with showers or longer spells of rain, often heavy at times. Brighter on Thursday with a few scattered showers.
Updated:
Probably rather changeable to begin this period, with some rain or showers at times, but also the likelihood of some decent drier interludes too. Towards mid August, high pressure may become rather more dominant towards the north of the UK, with lower pressure further to the south. This means there is a greater chance for Atlantic frontal systems or thundery interludes to affect southern areas, certainly in comparison to recent weeks, though rainfall amounts could be quite variable with some areas seeing relatively little. For the most part, temperatures look to remain above average, especially in the south, though perhaps without the exceptional heat we have seen in recent weeks.
Updated:
A continuation of the broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes, either resulting from Atlantic frontal systems or thundery plumes. This means that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
