UK weather

Headline:

A very warm Bank Holiday weekend to come for many.

Today:

A largely sunny day across England and Wales with some low cloud potentially affecting western coasts. Cloudier across Scotland and Northern Ireland with some occasional rain but also sunny spells. Feeling warm for most and hot towards the southeast.

Tonight:

Rain across the northwest moves southeastwards overnight, but weakening as it moves across England and Wales. Drier behind with some clear spells. Widely mild and staying warm in the southeast.

Saturday:

A largely sunny day, although northwest Scotland, Northern Ireland and some western coasts elsewhere often cloudier with some patchy drizzle. Another very warm day for most.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Dry and settled with plenty of sunshine, although the far northwest cloudier with some rain at times. Feeling very warm or hot by day with potentially warm nights too.

Temperatures will fall through this period to be above normal but not as hot as through the preceding Bank Holiday weekend. With high pressure expected to remain in place for much of the UK, fine weather is likely to continue for most places. Some patchy rain may affect the far north at times and perhaps a few showers in the far south. Temperatures are expected to be above normal overall, feeling very warm at times with light winds.

High pressure is likely to bring fair weather for most at first. Rain and showers are still possible at times, mainly across Northern Ireland and Scotland. As we head towards mid-June, more mixed conditions are likely with spells of rain and showers. Drier weather is expected between any bouts of wetter weather. These drier interludes will tend to last longer across the south and east of England. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above average overall, with some warm or very warm weather possible.
