Today:

A wet start to Thursday as showery rain, sometimes heavy with thunder and hail, moves southwards across the region. This gradually clearing to leave a brighter afternoon, with just a few lighter showers. Feeling cool in the northerly breeze. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Showers fading during the evening, then becoming largely dry overnight with clear spells and light winds. A notably chillier night than of late. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Friday:

Mostly dry to begin Friday with a good number of sunny spells. A few showers developing during the day, but these lighter and more isolated than those on Thursday. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Becoming more settled into the outlook period with an increasing number of sunny spells. Small chance of a shower over the Cumbrian Fells on Sunday. Temperatures below average for August.

Becoming more unsettled and changeable from the south at the start of this period, as showers or longer spells of rain spread north across many parts of the UK. Some heavy bursts and thunderstorms are likely at times. Thereafter, it will likely remain changeable through the rest of August and into early September, with rainfall amounts probably above average for the time year. Some drier, more settled interludes could develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or hot spells are possible, especially in the south.

A rather unsettled start to autumn is most likely with all areas probably seeing a mixture of showers or longer spells rain interspersed with drier interludes. Temperatures likely varying around average, some warm or hot spells are possible but unlikely prolonged in early September. By mid-September, there may be an increase in the extent of drier, more settled weather, especially in the south and east, though signals become very weak.
