UK long range weather forecast
It will be an initially dry and very warm start to this period for most with some early mist or fog patches possible. The Northern Isles, and perhaps far northwest Scotland, may see cloud and patchy drizzle at times. From Monday, areas of rain or showers can be expected. Developing from the southwest, we may see showers turning thundery throughout the week across southwest England and Wales. Meanwhile the southeast may see more generally rainy conditions. More changeable weather prevails through this period, with risk of heavier showers or thunderstorms continuing, but clear and dry spells in between become possible for many. Temperatures initially cooling down to nearer normal and feeling humid, but returning to warm or very warm, becoming locally hot in much of England and Wales.
Updated:
To begin with, settled conditions are likely, bringing sunny and dry weather for most. However, as we move through August and into September, more changeable weather can be expected. Spells of wet weather are likely, with the northwest seeing the wettest conditions and the southeast staying the driest. Sunny and dry spells in between rainfall can be expected, and temperatures are likely to remain above average.
