Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
There is a small possibility of gusts approaching gale force given thunderstorm activity in the area, with some variability in direction shown likely as well as sudden increases in strength.
Weather
Fine during the early hours. Cloud cover periodically increasing from western parts into the day, with temperatures again rising sharply under hazy sunny spells. Becoming very warm, although temperatures and humidity a little reduced compared to previous days, but still potentially arduous walking conditions in periods of high UV. From around the middle of the afternoon there is a risk of heavy and eventually thundery showers developing, with these gusty and with a risk of hail showers, gradually dying away in the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Greater than 90%.
Low cloud and visibility
Some early haziness, otherwise little impediment to visibility other than risk of showers later. Mainly medium and high cloud expected, some periods cloud nearer but clear of peaks.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.

The UV index will remain high, with early cloud in marked contrast to later conditions.
