Today:

Most hot and dry with occasional sunshine. With winds coming from the southeast it will be a hot day for many away for Caithness and northern and eastern coast. Showers developing across Inner Hebrides during the late afternoon. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Tonight:

Some good late mainland sunshine in east from Inverness northwards. Showers feeding from Inner Hebrides reaching most overnight, with some heavier outbreaks, these likely confined to Western parts. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

Cloudy start with patchy rain. This gradually clears late morning, leaving a mix of sunshine and a few well scattered showers, these perhaps heavier later. Inverness warm to hot. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Cooler. Saturday mainly dry and bright. Rather cloudy for Sunday and Monday with occasional patchy rain, this focused in the north and west.

On Monday, cloudy with spells of rain still holding on across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Further south, high pressure to the southwest of the UK will extend northeastwards, bringing settled and fair weather mainly across England and Wales. Cloud and rain will eventually ease across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the weather should turn drier and brighter across eastern Scotland where sheltered by high ground. From mid week, high pressure is signalled to dominate much of the UK, bringing dry and fine weather, and feeling warm in the sunshine with light winds for most. Any early morning mist or fog will be quick to clear, and daytime temperature will likely trend around or above normal for the time of year.

Following high pressure brining mainly dry and warm weather across the UK, the weather during late June and early July is expected to turn more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable for all parts at times. Rain or showers could be heavy and thundery, which is normal for the time of year. Temperatures are likely to be above average overall, more likely early in the period, as is the chance of any very warm or hot spells.
