UK long range weather forecast
Low pressure is expected to become centred to the northeast of the UK through the first part of this period. A generally unsettled picture with showers or perhaps some longer spells of rain through the middle part of July, and often quite windy for the time of year. That said, near the low centre at first, winds will be light, meaning showers and thunderstorms will be slow-moving. With winds blowing from the west or northwest, temperatures will start off a little below average for many. However, towards the end of the month, there are tentative signs of slightly drier conditions taking hold, with fewer in the way of showers and longer, drier spells, and consequently it should feel a little warmer too.
Updated:
The start of this period may still be rather unsettled, but there are indications that increasingly settled weather, with less frequent showers separated by more prolonged dry spells, may slowly become dominant at some point in the period. However, the risk of thunderstorms and heavy showers is likely to remain a possibility throughout. Following a relatively cool spell through the middle of July, temperatures are likely to return to average values for the time of year, with a chance they may increase to slightly above average as the period progresses.
