UK weather

Headline:

Another breezy and showery day ahead, with thunderstorms in places.

Today:

Outbreaks of rain affect parts of Scotland and northern England at first. A band of heavy, showery rain then spreads eastwards, with blustery showers and thunderstorms developing more widely during the afternoon. Southeast England stays mostly dry. Blustery at times.

Tonight:

Bands of heavy showers with a risk of hail and thunder move northeastwards. Many areas becoming dry by dawn, although some showers linger in the west. Temperatures remaining above average.

Monday:

A cloudy start with outbreaks of rain and showers, this heaviest across the north, with a risk of thunder. Turning drier and brighter through the afternoon. Breezy. Average temperatures.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Tuesday brings bright spells and showers, these spreading eastwards, some heavy. More widespread rain returns on Wednesday, though the southeast staying dry. Thursday then sees sunshine, showers and brisk winds.

Likely remaining unsettled with most areas seeing some showers or longer spells of rain at times, with the main focus for these across northern and western areas. Potential for some strong and gusty winds at times. Some drier and more settled interludes could develop, perhaps becoming longer in duration across southern areas later in this period. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or very warm spells are possible, especially in the south.

Signals are fairly limited from mid-September onward. At first, probably a continuation of a changeable regime with the wettest conditions in the northwest and longer drier interludes in the southeast. However, the distribution of rainfall soon becomes very unclear, although compared to earlier in the month there is a greater chance of more prolonged settled/dry spells. Temperatures likely varying around average with some warm spells likely, especially in the south.
