Sunday:Early mist and fog patches will disperse and then all parts will have a dry and very warm day with sunny spells and just a light breeze. Maximum temperature 25 °C. Updated: 1533 on Sat 26 Jul 2008 Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:It will be unsettled on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with either showers or longer spells of rain. The temperature will gradually return to around average for July. Updated: 1533 on Sat 26 Jul 2008 UK Outlook for Thursday 31 Jul 2008 to Saturday 9 Aug 2008:Initially the south and east will be mainly dry and very warm but outbreaks of rain and nearer normal temperatures in the west will have spread to most other parts of the country by Friday. Then the period Saturday through to Monday will be generally unsettled with either rain or showers in most districts. These will be heaviest and most widespread in the north and west whereas the driest and brightest conditions are most likely in the south and east. The temperature will be mostly around or slightly warmer than average. Thereafter it looks likely that the weather will move in from the west or southwest, with unsettled conditions prevailing. We can therefore expect either showers or spells of more prolonged rain, with temperatures close to or slightly below average. Updated: 1157 on Sat 26 Jul 2008 Seasonal forecasting:Seasonal forecasting is a developing area of meteorology and, although these forecasts are not as accurate as our short-term forecasts, they do demonstrate some skill in predicting what may happen for a season (a three-month period) ahead. The forecasts provide an estimation of broad trends in temperature and rainfall and will normally be expressed in probabilistic terms, with the more likely outcome highlighted. Information contained in these forecasts can allow business to plan ahead for weather that is forecast to be different from normal.
