Some hot sunshine. Chance of a few showers from tomorrow.
The new working week will get off to a dry and settled start with plenty of sunshine and just a light wind. Turning very hot in the afternoon, with just a little patchy cloud developing later on in the day. Maximum temperature 34 °C.
An isolated shower cannot be ruled out overnight, but most areas will stay dry. There will be areas of cloud drifting across, with clear spells at times. A warm night. Minimum temperature 17 °C.
Tuesday morning looks generally fine with some quite hot spells of sunshine developing. However, as cloud increases heading into the afternoon one or two showers are possible. Maximum temperature 28 °C.
Wednesday will be a little fresher and breezy with sunshine and scattered showers. Becoming drier and less breezy to end the week with more prolonged spells of sunshine, though cooler.
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.
