A mainly dry and bright day with warm hazy sunshine. Cloudier skies at times across Caithness with showery rain possible through Lochaber, Skye and the Uists later in the day. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Dry with some bright spells Thursday morning, some rain or showers in the east later. Unsettled and cloudy Friday and Saturday with occasional rain or showers developing. Winds mostly light.

An unsettled period is likely, with showers or longer spells of rain possible across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely, perhaps with some thunderstorms too. Rainfall amounts will probably be above average for the time year and there is potential for some strong winds at times. Some drier and more settled interludes could develop at times, but these will likely be short-lived. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or very warm spells are possible, especially in the south.

Most likely a continuation of the generally unsettled conditions at first with showers or longer spells of rain across many areas, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. However, there may still be some brief drier interludes at times. Further into September, drier weather may become more prevalent, especially in the south and southeast, with any more unsettled conditions tending to become more likely further north and northwest. Temperatures will probably be near normal at first but may become warmer later, with the possibility of some hot spells in the south.
