Remaining dry on Wednesday with spells of sunshine, although perhaps a little more cloud than today. Staying warm, especially in the south of the region. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Cooler and more changeable on Thursday, with spells of rain and showers. Likely to stay unsettled on Friday and Saturday with further rain at times, and temperatures near average.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern remains rather unclear. There may also be some drier and brighter interludes and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Later in the month more blocked weather patterns become more likely, with high pressure in the vicinity of the UK. This increases the probability of more settled weather, especially in the north but there may still be periods of rain or showers, especially in the south.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
