UK weather

Headline:

Showers fading overnight, becoming rather chilly under clearing skies.

This Evening and Tonight:

Most showers will fade allowing clear spells to develop. A few showers will persist around exposed coasts. It will become rather chilly overnight, especially in rural areas, with a few mist and fog patches forming by dawn.

Saturday:

Turning increasingly cloudy across northern Scotland, with some light and patchy rain possible. Elsewhere coastal showers will ease, leaving most areas dry with sunny spells. Temperatures around average.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Mostly dry with sunny spells Sunday and most of Monday, however it will turn increasingly cloudy from the south later with showers, and an increasing risk of thunderstorms.

A relatively unsettled and changeable start of this period, as showers or longer spells of rain are possible across many parts of the UK. Some heavy bursts and thunderstorms are likely at times. Thereafter, it will likely remain changeable through the rest of August and into early September, with rainfall amounts probably above average for the time year and the potential for some stronger winds at times. However, some drier, more settled interludes could develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or hot spells are possible, especially in the south.

Most likely changeable at first with showers or longer spells of rain across many areas, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. Further into September, drier weather may become more prevalent, especially in the south and southeast, with any more unsettled conditions tending to become confined further north and northwest. Temperatures will probably be near normal at first, but may turn warmer later with a chance of some hot periods in the south.
