This Evening and Tonight:

Dry and sunny into the evening, with clear spells overnight, cloud increasing from the west towards dawn. Much cooler than recent nights. Rather breezy at first, but winds easing overnight. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Monday:

Rather cloudy with some bright or sunny spells particularly across Cheshire and Lancashire during the morning. Temperatures close to the late June average. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Largely dry with sunny spells next week, but a few showers possible at times, particularly on Tuesday. Light winds. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine with near normal temperatures.

Some rain is possible across Scotland on Friday, easing as it spreads south and east before clearing away. High pressure will dominate across England and Wales over the weekend, bringing dry and warm conditions with plenty of sunshine for most. Scotland and Northern Ireland will probably see more cloud this weekend, with periods of rain mainly affecting western Scotland at times. Into the following working week, high pressure remains slow moving over England and Wales, perhaps extending northwards to bring drier and warmer weather to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Winds will be light to moderate for most, though stronger around northern hills and coasts near low pressure systems. Temperatures will rise through the period, perhaps becoming very warm or hot in places.

High pressure is more likely than low pressure at the start of this period, bringing a greater chance of settled and drier conditions. Occasionally this dry and warm weather could be interrupted by outbreaks of rain with stronger winds, this most likely further north if this occurs. As is typical for the time of year, there remains a risk of heavy, thundery showers during any warm spells. Towards the end of July there is a slight preference for a continuation of high pressure to dominate, however confidence at this range is naturally low. In any case, temperatures are likely to be above average overall, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.
