Cloud reforming overnight, clearing Wednesday morning, then sunny. Very warm.
A fine evening with long sunny spells for many. Cloud reforming overnight, especially across northern and eastern coasts, and spreading inland overnight. Remaining largely dry and warm. Minimum temperature 17 °C.
Patchy cloud at first, but burning away through the morning. Otherwise sunny, and turning very warm or hot by the afternoon. A little fresher across Kent with the northeasterly breeze. Maximum temperature 30 °C.
Cloudy at times, mainly mornings and overnight, with sunny spells each afternoon. Breezy, especially along the coast. Very warm on Thursday, turning less warm by the weekend.
Updated:
Remaining predominantly dry for most parts of the country as high pressure is likely to remain close to the UK for much of this period. However, with the source region of the air being from the North Atlantic, it will be somewhat less hot compared to many recent days. Any showers during the start of the period are more likely across the far north. Towards the latter part of July, the influence of high pressure may wane somewhat, allowing a greater chance of rain, showers or thunderstorms compared to earlier in the month. Overall, temperatures are expected to remain above average during this period.
Updated:
Perhaps a somewhat more changeable period, with the potential for showers or thunderstorms or even some longer spells of rain at times. Drier and brighter interludes are also likely, perhaps more likely across the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above normal with some hot spells possible.
