Patchy outbreaks of rain in the west today, gradually moving east. Sunny spells elsewhere and feeling hot and humid again in eastern England. A fresher feel elsewhere with a gentle breeze.

Tonight:

Cloudy in northwest Scotland with outbreaks of rain. Drier elsewhere with clear spells. A much fresher night compared to recent days

Monday:

Dry with sunny spells for many. Scattered showers are possible across the north. Temperatures around the seasonal average for most.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Scattered showers on Tuesday, with thunderstorms possible in the north. Largely dry thereafter with sunny spells, although showery outbreaks of rain are possible at times. Fresher than of late.

A drier start to July for most. Cloudier towards the west, otherwise a good deal of sunshine for most. Some northwestern parts may still see rain on occasion, perhaps accompanied by strong winds at times. Temperatures are likely to start off near average in the north and slightly warmer than average in the south, but fairly widely tending to increase further as high pressure dominates the weather into the second week of July, especially across England and Wales.

High pressure is looking slightly more likely than low pressure during the early part of this period, meaning a greater chance of settled and drier than average conditions. Outbreaks of rain and stronger are possible at times, these more likely further north. As normal for the time of year, there is still a chance of some heavy and thundery showers which may interrupt any warm and settled weather. Towards the end of July there is no reliable signal for preferring any one weather pattern over another. However, temperatures are likely to be above normal on the whole, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.
