Heavy rain in western Scotland. Turning dry and warm elsewhere.
A cloudy start with rain in northern areas. Rain becoming confined to western Scotland through the morning. Dry elsewhere with sunny spells, but cloudier around western coasts and hills. Very warm and humid for many. Breezy in the north.
Outbreaks of rain in northwest Scotland and some drizzle along Irish Sea coasts, but largely dry elsewhere. Low cloud and fog developing across southern areas.
Low cloud and fog clearing to allow plenty of sunshine across England and Wales. Cloudier in the far northwest. Very warm for many, hot and humid in the south.
Sunshine at first but with the risk of isolated thunderstorms. Hot and humid for many. Showery rain will spread eastwards later in the week, introducing fresher conditions from the west.

Overnight rain and thunderstorms will clear eastwards on Friday, to sunny spells and occasional showers. The showers will mainly be in the west, with a low risk of thunderstorms, and they will introduce fresher conditions. It will be breezy in the north, with further cloud and rain from the southwest later. Into the weekend, confidence falls low, but fresher conditions will be the most probable. A northwest to southeast split will be the most likely scenario. The northwest is likely to see further spells of rain and strong winds at times, with temperatures near or a little below average. The south and southeast are likely to see drier weather, and here it could still be warm into the start of August.
Updated:
As we move into early August, the final month of the meteorological summer, confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to dominate. It is most likely that low pressure to the north and northwest of the UK will give further rise to showers or longer spells of rain in the northwest, with the better chance of drier weather in the southeast. Temperatures will likely be above average, perhaps mostly in western and southern areas. However, confidence falls as we head through August.
