Turning warm and humid with unsettled conditions.
Turning increasingly cloudy from the west during the evening with outbreaks of light and patchy rain potentially pushing across the region later. Milder overnight with light easterly winds. Minimum temperature 10 °C.
Turning warm and humid on Monday. Some sunshine developing through the day, with an chance of showers later, these becoming more frequent and heavier and potentially thundery overnight. Maximum temperature 22 °C.
Rather changeable with sunny spells and showers, these potentially heavy and thundery on Tuesday. Turning somewhat drier from Wednesday, with temperatures returning to average.
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.
