UK weather

Headline:

A warm night for many.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any isolated thunderstorms easing, with most having a fine evening. Remaining largely cloudy across Scotland overnight, with a few spots of rain. Generally dry and clear elsewhere. Staying warm.

Saturday:

Rather cloudy across Scotland, with showery rain. Generally sunny elsewhere, but the risk of low cloud along eastern coasts of England. Breezy. Hot in the west, cooler in the east.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Low cloud retreating back to eastern coasts each morning, otherwise sunny. An increasing risk of showers in the south next week. Temperatures easing down, but still hot towards the southwest.

High pressure to the northeast of the UK with low pressure over the Bay of Biscay starts the period with broadly settled weather for the north of the UK with a risk of thunderstorms into the south of the UK from France at times. Through the weekend potentially turning more unsettled from the south before more settled conditions arrive from the west. Uncertain into the next week as cloud and longer spells of rain threaten the NW and possibly running through the UK at times. Temperatures will be warm or very warm initially, perhaps hot at times in the southwest, likely easing to warm or near average over the weekend, though further hot spells possible especially in the south..

The signal through the end of July and into August becomes increasingly mixed with spells of low pressure and more unsettled weather becoming more likely. There may still be some thunderstorms at times as well. There will still probably be some dry interludes, most probably in the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to remain warm or very warm and some spells of hot weather remain possible.
