View the weather with our interactive map
Cloudy start Saturday, then dry with sunny spells.
A cloudy start to the day, gradually lifting to reveal some good spells of sunshine by the afternoon. Winds will remain light, with temperatures staying close to the seasonal norm Maximum temperature 25 °C.
Mist and fog patches developing in prone rural spots with cloud making inroads from the coast through the early hours. Minimum temperature 11 °C.
Another cloudy start, especially in coastal regions, likely burning away quicker than Saturday to see plenty of sunshine. Temperatures close to average. Maximum temperature 26 °C.
Settled conditions expected through the period with cloudy mornings gradually turning to sunny afternoons. Coastal areas may remain cloudy with the odd spot of drizzle possible. Temperatures close to average.
Updated:
High pressure is expected to drift to the northwest at the start of this period. This will allow a north to northeasterly airstream to affect much of the UK, leading to rather cool conditions in some northern and eastern areas. As a vigorous area of low pressure emerges into the North Atlantic by the following weekend, connected to what is currently Tropical Storm Erin, high pressure may re-build across the UK for a time, bringing widely fine and dry conditions and for some, an increase in temperatures, relative to the previous few days. The final week of August may see Atlantic weather systems progress over the UK, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing, though there is much uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
Updated:
Confidence in the details through this period is low. However, low pressure and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely, and with this comes the potential for stronger winds at times as well. Whether this takes the form of further low pressure systems running in from the Atlantic, or a rather more slowly evolving weather pattern is less clear. Temperatures are likely be near to above average overall.
