UK weather

Headline:

Heavy rain and thunderstorms moving north overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms will develop and move northwards across England, Wales and perhaps Northern Ireland, though sporadic in nature. Scotland likely to remain dry with clear spells. Feeling warm and humid, leading to an uncomfortable night.

Wednesday:

Bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue to move northwards through the day. Sunnier moments in between, where it will feel very warm and humid, especially in the south.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Unsettled, with sunshine and bands of heavy rain and thundery showers on Thursday and Friday. Further wet weather likely to move in throughout Saturday. Temperatures returning back to average.

An unsettled period is likely, with showers or longer spells of rain possible across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely, perhaps with some thunderstorms too. Rainfall amounts will probably be above average for the time year and there is potential for some strong winds at times. Some drier and more settled interludes could develop at times, but these will likely be short-lived. Temperatures are likely to be near average, although some short-lived warm or very warm spells are possible, especially in the south.

Most likely a continuation of the generally unsettled conditions at first with showers or longer spells of rain across many areas, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. However, there may still be some brief drier interludes at times. Further into September, drier weather may become more prevalent, especially in the south and southeast, with any more unsettled conditions tending to become more likely further north and northwest. Temperatures will probably be near normal at first but may become warmer later, with the possibility of some hot spells in the south.
