Headline:

Today:

Thursday will be a fresher day with a gentle northwesterly wind, although it could be gusty along higher ground to the north. There will be some pleasantly warm spells of sunshine, though the odd light shower cannot be ruled out. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

The odd light shower could affect western coasts overnight, though most inland areas will be dry with clear spells and patchy cloud. A comfortable night, with temperatures lower than recently. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Friday:

Isolated showers are possible during the morning, but most of these will die out into the afternoon. Otherwise there will be sunny spells and feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Sunny spells on Saturday with the odd light shower, mainly in the north. Generally dry and bright on Sunday. A chance of showery rain developing on Monday.

A generally rather changeable period looks likely, with many places likely to see some much needed rain or showers at times but also some more sunshine. Initially, some heavy rain looks likely across the northeast, with some showers elsewhere. After a drier, brighter few days, further unsettled conditions may develop for a while, these perhaps more likely towards more southern parts of the UK. Thereafter, further spells of dry, warm, sunny weather and cooler, wetter and breezier weather look likely as we head towards mid-August. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, and there is the potential for some very warm or hot spells, especially in the south, although perhaps not the heat we have seen in recent weeks.

Dry and settled conditions will probably dominate much of this period with high pressure patterns tending to affect the UK. This may be interrupted at times by Atlantic frontal systems, especially in the north, or thunderstorms in the south. However, overall rainfall amounts will likely be below normal. Temperatures will probably be above normal and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
