UK weather

Headline:

Remaining changeable for the rest of the week.

Today:

Scattered showers gradually fading leaving a largely dry and bright day across the UK, with the sunniest skies in Scotland. Breezy along North Sea coasts but tending to ease later. Temperatures near or perhaps a little below average.

Tonight:

A largely dry and clear night, but cloud and rain will reach the far west later on in the night. Feeling chilly, especially in the countryside.

Thursday:

Cloud and rain will spread erratically eastwards throughout the day. Rain turning heavier at times, particularly in the north, with the southeast likely remaining dry until after dark.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Remaining changeable with further showers or longer spells of rain. Some sunnier interludes, especially in the north on Friday and the south on Saturday. Feeling a little warmer by Saturday.

Remaining changeable, with occasional rain or showers arriving from the North Atlantic, most frequent across northern and western parts of the UK, where some strong winds will also be possible at times. However, there will also be some reasonable dry and more settled periods, especially across southern areas. Later in the month, high pressure may become more dominant in the vicinity of the UK, perhaps bringing more widely settled conditions for a time, especially away from the far north. Temperatures for the period as a whole will probably be close to average overall, but there is scope for some rather warm days at times, along with occasional relatively cool nights.

High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may start to weaken its influence on the weather later in the month and into early October. As a result, it may become more changeable with a greater chance of rain or showers in places, and perhaps some strong winds at times too. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, with relatively cool nights possible at first tending to reduce in frequency later in the period.
