UK weather

Headline:

Bright today. Some rain tomorrow, though warm sunshine in southeast.

Today:

A bright and breezy start. Chilly in places too. A few showers around during the day, mainly in the north, otherwise plenty of fine weather with some sunny spells. Feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine, and as winds ease.

Tonight:

Many eastern and southeastern areas will have a dry night with clear spells and gentle winds. Elsewhere becoming cloudier and breezy, even windy in the northwest, with some showery rain.

Sunday:

Many places starting rather cloudy with some showery rain. Rain becoming mostly confined towards the north and far west, where windy. Very warm sunshine developing in the south and southeast.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Rainbands moving southeast across the UK on Monday, followed by sunshine and showers on Tuesday. Rain heaviest in the north, where gales possible. Generally drier, brighter with lighter winds midweek.

Changeable initially, with some dry interludes and relatively cool nights, interspersed with occasional outbreaks of rain or showers arriving from the west, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times too. However, a trend towards more widely settled conditions seems likely from around next weekend and beyond, as high pressure becomes increasingly influential in the vicinity of the UK. This should lead to longer, drier interludes, especially in the south and southwest, with any rain or showers more likely towards the north and east. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, though still with some relatively cool nights at times.

High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may eventually start to weaken its influence on the weather towards the end of September. 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.
