UK long range weather forecast
Very warm or hot for many in the UK through the end of next week, although fresher and largely drier weather will be seen across western areas. Elsewhere will be fairly cloudy with sunny spells and the chance for some heavy or thundery downpours. From the weekend, the UK should slowly see settled conditions become established more widely, spreading eastwards by the end of the following week, although still potentially rather cloudy and humid with the chance of rain in the northwest at times. Temperatures are likely to be warm for many to start and possibly hot at times in the southeast. The potentially hot weather here gives a risk of thunderstorms across the south. Fog patches are possible overnight for many although these will quickly clear through the morning.
Updated:
Confidence remains fairly low for this period, but there are some signs that we will initially see more changeable conditions towards the northwest, with periods of cloudy skies, outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds. However, there should still be some interludes of calm and settled weather here to, but overall the temperatures will remain around average. It is likely to be more settled towards the east, with warmer temperatures, especially overnight where the south and southeast could see some very warm temperatures. There may also be some further spells of hot weather and thunderstorms here, which could spread further north and east at times. Towards the end of August and into early September, the more changeable conditions may become more likely with a reduction in the possibility of hot weather.
