North West England

Headline:

Notably fresher on Wednesday but remaining sunny and very warm.

This Evening and Tonight:

A fine and very warm evening for many and staying sunny for most. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, mainly in the south, potentially bringing large hail and frequent lightning. Most places staying entirely dry. Remaining rather warm overnight with showers easing. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Wednesday:

Another largely dry and fine day with plenty of sunshine. Feeling quite a bit less hot than on Tuesday, with an easterly breeze, but still very warm. Isolated showers later. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Staying largely dry and settled, although a few showers may develop from time to time, especially on Thursday. Very warm initially but gradually turning cooler.

A more changeable period than we have seen of late, as Atlantic weather systems move in from the west to bring a mixture of drier spells and some showers, or longer spells of rain at times. The rain will likely be heaviest in parts of the west and northwest, with the best of the drier conditions more likely towards the south and east. Temperatures will be near-normal overall, with the warmest spots most likely across eastern areas. It will also be breezy at times, most especially across northwestern areas.

Probably changeable or unsettled at first with Atlantic frontal systems bringing showers or longer spells of rain at times. From mid-month, high pressure may begin to become more dominant with conditions becoming dry and more settled, although some showery interludes are still possible. Temperatures are expected to be near normal at first, but probably rising above average later.
