Becoming increasingly warm over the next few days.
A dry but cloudy start for many, with the cloud slowly clearing to give warm sunny spells. Cloud persisting, perhaps, across eastern Wales, the Midlands, and the North Sea coast. A strong, gusty wind developing in far southwestern parts later.
Dry with cloud advancing across eastern and central England and flirting with far northern Scotland. Good clear spells elsewhere and chilly in Scotland and northeast England. Windy in the southwest.
Dry, increasingly sunny and very warm with the hottest conditions in the west and south. Cooler on eastern coasts where cloud persists. Strong, gusty winds in southwest England.
Friday and Saturday, largely dry and sunny. Very warm for most, hot in parts of the south. Turning fresher from the west by Sunday with showers, mainly in the north.

By Monday, fresher and less warm weather will spread to all areas. The north of the UK will probably be rather wet and windy but southern parts are likely to be drier. Winds and rain will probably ease on Tuesday and Wednesday, apart from the far south, where it may become more breezy for at time. Most of the UK is likely to have some warm sunshine on those days, though it is not expected to be as warm as this week. Over the following days, the most likely scenario is for mainly dry, bright and warm weather to continue though there is no special signal for particularly hot temperatures. Early morning mist or short-lived wetter and windier weather are also likely at times.

Dry, bright and often warm weather is the most likely scenario for the first few days of this period, though some wind and rain is likely at times. This could well continue later into July, perhaps with some hot weather spreading from the continent at times. However, the situation is very uncertain by then. If blocked high pressure were to be displaced significantly to the west or the east of the UK, we could end up with some changeable weather with significant rainfall at times.
