The fourth heatwave of the year. Fresher by the weekend.
Wednesday will be dry and settled across the region with lots of sunshine developing, once any early patches of mist clear. It will feel very hot in the afternoon, with only a very light breeze blowing. Maximum temperature 35 °C.
There'll be plenty more hot sunshine to end the day, and clear periods are then likely this evening. However, patchy cloud will gradually edge in from the northwest overnight. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Some early bright spells, but cloud will continue to feed across the region on Thursday morning, with the small chance of a shower developing. Sunshine returning later, but feeling fresher. Maximum temperature 27 °C.
It looks largely dry on Friday and during the weekend. Though remaining a little cooler and fresher there will be some very warm sunshine at times, with gentle winds.
Updated:
It will probably become more changeable for a time at least at the start of this period. This means there is a greater chance of some rain or showers for areas of the UK which have seen prolonged dry weather, although rainfall amounts are likely to be fairly modest. Just a low chance of a deeper area of low pressure which would bring more widespread and heavier rain along with some strong winds. Beyond that it will likely become mostly dry once again as we head toward mid-August. Temperatures closer to average, still the potential for some warmer interludes, especially in the south, although perhaps not the heat we have seen in recent weeks.
Updated:
Dry and settled conditions will probably dominate much of this period with high pressure patterns tending to affect the UK. This may be interrupted at times by Atlantic frontal systems, especially in the north, or thunderstorms in the south. However, overall rainfall amounts will likely be below normal. Temperatures will probably be above normal and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
