UK weather

Headline:

Further showers on Friday, turning largely dry this weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers inland will mostly fade away overnight, though some will continue near coasts where they will also be heavy at times. Clear spells developing elsewhere, leading to a cooler night, especially in the countryside.

Friday:

Showers generally less widespread, although some thundery showers possible, especially in western and southern Britain. Temperatures a little below normal for many, but still rather warm in the southeast.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

High pressure builds in during the weekend and Monday, bringing largely dry and fine conditions for most. Temperatures near or a little below normal initially, but turning warmer from Sunday.

Becoming more unsettled and changeable from the south at the start of this period, as showers or longer spells of rain spread north 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. 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.
